An old shepherd lives his last days in a quiet medieval village perched high on the hills of Calabria at the southernmost tip of Italy. He herds goats under skies that most villagers have deserted long ago. He is sick and believes to find his medicine in the dust he collects on the church floor which he drinks in his water every day. A beautiful and poetic vision of the revolving cycles of life and nature in the unbroken traditions of a timeless place Le Quattro volte appeares as the metaphor of a soul that moves through four successive states of being.

Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Frammartino directs this deceptively simple and playfully philosophical study of life through the four seasons in a tiny Italian village high in the Calabrian hills in southern Italy. A majestic pine tree is cut down by the villagers to be used first as a maypole for the town festival and later turned into charcoal. An elderly, ailing goatherd (Giuseppe Fuda) quietly lives out his last days, believing in the healing powers of the dust he collects daily from the church floor, which he drinks in his water every day. But even as he is dying, a new goat kid is born and the cycle of life steadily goes on.
