In the midst of discovering the victim’s identity, she meets Bruno, the head of the morgue, who seems to be the only one who can truly understand her. The investigation she pursues will take her far from her surroundings until she will be forced to question herself, her unresolved past, and the life she really wants to live.

Alberto Casiraghy and Josef Weiss are true bibliophile artists. One in Osnago, the other in Mendrisio, they have been dedicating themselves for years to valuable editorial and typographical activities, still printing with mobile characters, preserving the memory of a perfect ingenuity made of manual skills and technique, but also of inventiveness and poetry. Silvio Soldini gives us a realistic and poetical portrait of these two artists-artisans, who chose one of the oldest professions in a modern world, finding great success and approval.

Wrapping the audience in waves of sound, Alberi takes us on a circular journey through the Italian countryside.

Документальная картина о монашеском ордене, члены которого хранят обет молчания. Действие фильма происходит в картезианском монастыре Гранд Шартрез, затерянном во французских Альпах. На всем протяжении этой ленты зрители почти не слышат человеческой речи; тишину прерывает только звон колоколов. Фильм отображает каждодневную жизнь монахов, живущих в полумраке: кельи монастыря освещаются лишь свечами. Спят они на лавках, застеленных соломой, а свои жилища обогревают лишь небольшими жестяными печками. Покрытые снегом альпийские горы служат величественным фоном их духовным поискам. По ночам монахи собираются в каменной часовне, где царит пронизывающий холод, садятся на пол и поют грегорианские песнопения.
