After exploring along the border between Umbria, Lazio and Tuscany, Alice Rohrwacher and JR noticed the destruction of agricultural landscape, likening rows of trees to a cemetery. Omelia Contadina is a film that reveals a funeral full of life, it's a hymn of hope with which the two artists could support the fight of the small-scale farmers and inhabitants of the Alfina plateau.
