The story
In a devastated Northern Italy, a father and son live in a stilt house over the water, among a small number of survivors facing hardship and deprivation. In this harsh world, where strength determines the law, younger generations have largely forgotten how to read and write, treating those skills as useless remnants of the past. When his father dies, the son wants to understand the secret diary his father left behind. Unable to read it himself, he sets out on a dangerous journey to find someone who can help him decipher its contents.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
Northern Italy, at an unspecified time. A father and son live in a stilt house over the water, after an unspecified catastrophe changed the course of events, condemning the few survivors to a miserable life of hardship and deprivation. In this world, where the law of the strongest prevails, the younger generations have forgotten how to read and write—activities now considered superfluous, relics of a past that survives only in the memories of the elderly. So, after his father dies, when the son wants to discover what his father wrote in his secret diary, he must undertake a treacherous and perilous journey in search of someone who can help him.
