Agron and Sandra are a rare breed, refusing the shortcuts of modernity and instead tenaciously continuing to make cheese with respect for naturalness, tradition and taste. Even though this means hard work, risk, disputes and isolation, they continue to hold out. Their story is one of courage, of integration and redemption, of trust and a spirit of acceptance and welcome. Agron left his native Albania to find a new life and a new career in Italy, while Sandra has invested in her local area. Now the two of them are interpreting an ancient cheesemaking tradition that belongs not only to Sicily but represents a heritage shared by all the Mediterranean cultures. This film looks with hope at the future of humanity, painting a vibrant picture of a country that is responding to crises and deep changes with a new and revolutionary vision of the world that starts from the bottom up.
