The Night When Animals Talk is a story about the seasons of life; of childhood affections and great passions. Matteo and Claudia meet again in Calabria during a festival in honor of the Virgin Mary and their old love story comes back to life in the setting where it began. Many years before, from the same town, Matteo's grandfather, Alessandro, had set off to fight in the Second World War. Once at the front in Africa, Alessandro also reminisced about a love that would never be. Years later, in the narrow streets of Conflenti, the lives of Alessandro, Matteo and Claudia cross once again, shadowing each other during the days of the feast. Loves not lived and ancient farming traditions, choices that change and the dreams of different generations that intertwine until reaching a heartwarming and poignant finale.
