MIRTILLO - numerus I
1346. The Black Death has arrived in Europe. Andruccio is fleeing his village Coccorone (Italy) in search of salvation. Among the woods and paths he meets a rather singular character who will accompany him to Triora, the 'village of witches', to find the cure.
A metaphysical journey that will lead the protagonist to live a unique experience between dream and reality where death will become his travelling companion.
