Bombed buildings in Ukraine, the Baalbek temple in Lebanon built in 60 AD, images of blasted rocks and cities destroyed by an earthquake in Turkey, a man who has been tending the stones of an ancient temple for thirty years, the skeletons of monolithic buildings and concrete piles of rubble waiting to be removed and reused, and the main character of the film, the Italian architect and designer Michele de Lucchi, in whose garden a symbolic landscape element is laid out of stones - a circle in which no man should step.

In this program there is a balance between what is not played and what is played . Directors test the limits of our perception - after all, we no longer live in a world of one reality. Here we will see a film-social project with real ex-scales, and a work of political resistance, and an ecological-philosophical essay about the collision of nature and man, and unexpected twists and turns of character transformations. These films erase or expand the definition of cinema, so the audience will have a really interesting task of deciphering what is real in the films and what is not.
