Signals of Life (2025)
In Lignan, a village of few souls in the Saint-Barthelemy Valley in the Aosta Valley, an Astronomical Observatory scans the skies every night. Like a bell tower or a lighthouse, the large telescope marks the time of the small mountain community. In autumn, the astrophysicist Paolo Calcidese moved into the structure as the sole custodian and inhabitant to carry out his scientific research and experiment with new technologies. Due to a technical accident, however, he will be forced to put aside the stars and solitude to dedicate himself to other forms of life not yet considered: human beings.
