Ivan Di Palma is a farmer, a philosophy graduate, who has chosen to return to his homeland in Atena Lucana, in the Cilento, Alburni and Vallo di Diano National Park, to dedicate himself to sowing the 'grains of the future', together with a group of cronies and companions.

 Teresa Vallone is an elderly woman, a farmer who as a young woman chose to emigrate to Germany, abandoning the land to improve the living conditions of her children.

Their stories intertwine following the cycle of the seasons and the life of a grain of wheat, from sowing to reaping in the year of the pandemic, questioning themselves about the past, the present but above all about the future of the land to leave to their children.
