Back in Sicily, Theseus writes an endless letter to loved ones, beginning with the account of a quest: to solve the mystery of a forgotten tomb. A genderless child of a thousand loves, a centaur half-human, half-ghost, they traverse a liminal world where reality intertwines with myths, legends, and childhood adventures. Between the ruins of the past and those of the present, Theseus inhabits the scars of a land peopled with gods and goddesses, stars, plants, and creatures, and walks at the foot of mountains of fire. An atmospheric Mediterranean tale in which Constant Spina makes his native island the true heroine of the story.
