  • Watch Online / The Next Village (2018)



    Desc: The Next Village: Directed by Riccardo Vaia. A catastrophe has fallen on mankind; all are as gone... there is still a wayfarer who wanders alone in this post-apocalyptic world, collecting samples of topsoil, bark of trees, dust. The man dwells in an abandoned house, in which he catalogs these vestiges, these traces to compose a map. Even he does not know what this map is for. Strange memories of a distant past torment him: perhaps the traveler was a 'terrorist', engaged in a sort of anarchist warfare. But soon another 'presence' appears in the house, without being perceived by the protagonist. Is he a ghost? A 'double'? An extinct voice? He asks questions and preaches of a 'promised land'. This thought somehow creeps into the mind of the traveler, who begins to have visions: diaphanous images of a maid of another time, which perhaps he has already met and who seems to show him the way to the 'promised land', playing an ancient melody with a medieval psaltery. Who are these 'presences'? These appearances of the mind? What is the meaning of the map that the traveler has drawn and where will it lead him?
