SYNOPSYS
Gianni (24) is pragmatic and reserved; his younger half-brother Carlo (12) is wild, idealistic, and obsessed with nature. Despite their differences, they share a strong bond. When Gianni decides to leave home and the mountains for a new life, he invites Carlo to their father’s old mountain cabin for one last weekend together. Gianni struggles to tell his brother the truth, and silence grows between them. A fight erupts when Carlo, jealous and confused, throws Gianni’s phone in the river. That night, they reconnect through memories of childhood. At dawn, they find a lost lamb and return it to its flock—Carlo watches his brother walking ahead, wearing their father’s cowboy hat. For the first time, he sees not a boy, but a man.
