These two arboreal beings are ceremoniously transported from the forest to the village, where the union of male and female is commemorated through an ancient rite of fertility, invoking blessings for a bountiful harvest and a fruitful year ahead. Amidst the protective embrace of Saint Julian, devotion to the saint guides both women and men through a complex ritual, steeped in the rhythms and traditions of agrarian and pastoral culture. This documentary, crafted over four years of dedication, narrates the emblematic festival of arboreal worship in Basilicata and throughout the Mediterranean.
