HEMA. A story of castellieri

Before the foundation of Trieste, the lands of the Caput Adriae were already inhabited by our ancestors, the population of the castellieri. Hema is a joung girl who lives in the Iron Age in the castelliere of Elleri and like all children of all times she becomes attached to a small animal that she finds occasionaly. The father, a salt merchant, becomes the protagonist of a sad ritual that Hema, in a sort of game, will imitate. But a parallelism to the present day sees another little girl similar to Hema, who, being on an educational trip to the same hillford, accidentally brings to light an artifact that will evoke an emotional bond with the past. Present in every era the figure of a bird of prey who supervises the human events around the castelliere from above.

For the first time a film talks about the culture of the “castellieri” and the cult of the dead linked to the necropolises of these sites in the Iron Age.
