The film is a sort of presentation of Franco Fortini&#x27;s book &#x27;I Cani del Sinai&#x27;. Fortini, an Italian Jew, reads excerpts from the book about his alienation from Judaism and from the social relations around him, the rise of Fascism in Italy, the anti-Arab attitude of European culture. The images, mostly a series of Italian landscape shots, provide a backdrop that highlights the meaning of the text.

Two segments. The first one arranges six stories from Cesare Pavese&#x27;s &quot;Dialoghi con Leuc&ograve;&quot;, taken from classical mythology. The second segment is taken from Pavese&#x27;s novel &quot;La luna e i fal&ograve;&quot;: after WWII the emigrant &#x27;The Bastard&#x27; comes back to his village in the Langhe (northern Italy) to find that everyone he knew has died and the war has deeply changed relationships between people.
