A man and his son live a sparse life in the swamps, at some distance from other rare survivors of a mysterious cataclysm. When the father disappears, the illiterate teenager seeks help with reading his notebook. This is a dangerous undertaking at a time when civilisation has given way to animal instincts, but one that will bring him closer to a humanity he knew nothing about. In adapting Gipi’s graphic novel The Land of the Sons (La terra dei figli), Claudio Cupellini reclaims Italian post-apocalyptic cinema using a naturalistic approach, with scenes both raw and intense, and a pronounced taste for contemplation
