Antonio has dedicated his life to Lake Fimon, a place that has embraced him since childhood and that he now protects with love and devotion. The documentary tells the story of his deep bond with the water, which for him is a refuge, a confidant, and a witness to the passing of time.

Director Statement

I have always believed that places hold memories and that some people are silent guardians of stories at risk of being forgotten. When I met Antonio and heard about his deep Connection with Lago di Fimon, I knew this story needed to be told. It is not just the portrait of a man but of a profound relationship with nature—one built on respect, contemplation, and melancholy. With this documentary, I hope to create a space for reflection on what we lose, what remains, and those who choose to care for it.
