In August 1961, speleologists from Italy’s booming North arrive on a Calabrian plateau where time stands still. The intruders discover one of the world’s deepest caves, the Bifurto Abyss, under the gaze of an old shepherd, the only witness of the pristine territory.

ottime le riprese della natura ma ad una certa credevo di star guardando un documentario su focus…

Nice to look at. Arthouse cave of wonders. There’s some analogous image replacement of the tunnel explorerers and a doctor examining his older patient. I enjoy slow paced movies like this. They give you time to think. I didn’t end up connecting to this one ultimately.
