In the hands of Italian filmmaker Giovanni Donfrancesco, an outwardly simple documentary about a Vermont granite-mining town and the Tuscan anarchist and socialist quarrymen who migrated there at the beginning of the 20thcentury becomes something rich and strange.
It's a cinematic Spoon River Anthology that acts both as elegiac lament for a dying world of stone craftsmanship and poetic portrait of a town that inhabits a dreamspace somewhere between past and present, the dead and the living.
