In Lignan, a small village in the Aosta Valley, there is an astronomical observatory. The large telescope is overlooking the small mountain community like a bell tower or a lighthouse. In late autumn, astrophysicist Paolo Calcidese moves into the facility as sole winter resident to conduct his scientific research and experiment with new technologies. However, due to a technical problem, he is forced to leave the stars and solitude behind in order to devote himself to other, previously unconsidered aspects of life: the people.

A Lignan, villaggio di poche anime nella Valle di Saint-Barthelemy in Valle D'Aosta, un Osservatorio Astronomico scruta i cieli ogni notte. Come un campanile o un faro, il grande telescopio scandisce il tempo della piccola comunità montana. In autunno, l'astro!sico Paolo Calcidese, si trasferisce nella struttura come unico custode e abitante per portare avanti le proprie ricerche scienti!che e sperimentare nuove tecnologie. A causa di un incidente tecnico, però, sarà costretto a mettere da parte gli astri e la solitudine per dedicarsi ad altre forme di vita !nora non considerate: gli esseri umani.
