A tour of his grandmother’s village in southern Italy ignites a wellspring of creativity in an elderly man. Overflowing with joy and gratitude, he vows to tell the story of the village of Monteleone di Puglia, through a beautifully illustrated graphic novel, heartfelt songs, and a marble sculpture of a lioness. The lioness transmits the enduring spirit of the village to every viewer and delivers a heartfelt message to all descendants of immigrants to search for their roots.
