In 1980s rural Italy, a rag-tag group of grave robbers search for lost Etruscan treasures, led by the wistful, laconic Arthur who is mourning the loss of his beloved Beniamina. His otherworldly talents are used by the group in order to procure ancient artefacts to sell on the black market, but his quest to bridge the gap between past and present has far higher stakes.

While he’s staying at the once-beautiful home of Beniamina’s mother, who indulges his tendency to revel in the past, Arthur unexpectedly meets the young Italia, whose friendship spurs him to look forward as he inches closer and closer to an illuminating discovery.
