Summary

The old Sardinian shepherd Costantino Saru is persuaded by his son to establish a hotel restaurant (called Assandira ) in his abandoned sheepfold. The company's characteristic curve should be to offer European customers, especially from the north, an experience of life in the traditional Sardinian pastoral world. The old shepherd Costantino was supposed to be a kind of guarantee of authenticity. The company is doing well. But one day a fire destroys Assandira and kills the old shepherd's son. Costantino feels responsible for everything that has happened. The judge doesn't believe him.
