CGiii Comment
In the south of Italy, a community of women devotes itself to divinatory practices dating back to Roman antiquity, such as ornithomancy and the interpretation of celestial phenomena. In the midst of a predominantly rural landscape, the "augurs" portrayed by Clémentine Roy decipher the clue given by the flight of a bird or the meaning of the rumblings of the storm and exchange the information with voice messages on their cell phones.
Predictions that resonate rather like descriptions of a desired world in which slowness and daily gestures reconquer their lost importance. A movie that suggests a new fascinating way to live in harmony with the cosmos, unable to hide the evident conflicts between modernity and an ancestral and mysterious world, but able to intrigue about how it could be possible to rewrite the present, or to see it with new eyes.
