Deep in the Karst above Trieste (Italy), there is a place shrouded in mystery, where nature, history, and legend intertwine. This place is the Druids Dolina, also known as the Valley of the Moon, a deep sinkhole characterized by a series of old stone constructions, now in ruins. These structures, over the years, have fueled the collective imagination of the region, giving rise to countless legends about their purpose and origin. Through interviews with researcher Dante Cannarella and cast enthusiast Paolo Del Core, the documentary explores the historical and cultural roots of the sinkhole, seeking to uncover its secrets among the surrounding rocks and vegetation. It is an investigation that also aims to reflect on the influence that nature exerts on humans and how we constantly seek to mythologize it.
