L’usignolo sul mare - TRAILER
“He is the one, therefore, who is afraid in the dark, because in the dark he sees or believes he sees; that which dreams or seems to dream in the light, remembering things never seen; what speaks to the beasts, to the trees, to the stones, to the clouds, to the stars: that populates the shadow of ghosts and the sky of gods."
