The Hole

A captivating, at times meditative film that captures the beauty of the South Italian countryside in the 1960s, where a group of adventurers from the north come to explore one of the deepest chasms in Europe. The descriptive, wordless filmmaking makes the stunning scenery and the mystery of the deep hole we venture into with the team of speleologists stand out. What awaits us at the bottom? The meaning of the expedition becomes a metaphor for understanding the amazing story of nature in which we, humans, are just small episodic characters.
