With a neorealistic touch, Salvatore Mereu portrays an archaic world in the wild lands of Sardinia. Raffaele is an elderly farmer who doesn’t embrace progress and relies on hard work and the power of the wind to take care of his harvest. His days are stretched to infinity, and the young Angelino is the only touch of color.
Set in rural Sardinia in the 1950s, Bentu follows Raffaele, an elderly farmer waiting for the wind that will allow him to complete the traditional wheat harvest his family depends on. As the days pass and the wind refuses to come, his bond with the young Angelino grows, revealing a world suspended between ancestral knowledge and the arrival of modernity. Through a simple yet powerful story, the film becomes a reflection on time, nature, friendship and the gradual disappearance of a way of life.
