Giacomo is a son of the wilderness, a natural element and an element of nature at the same time. He is an uncontrollable entity moving in a timeless world. Francesca is attracted to Giacomo and to what he personifies. Fully aware of the risk she is taking, she is however still ready to play her cards to the very end. Francesca’s character is in full evolution and we perceive her actual physical mutation as the story unfolds. Although completely extraneous to Giacomo’s world, her real desire to become familiar with it and enter it succeeds in creating a perfect symbiosis with him and what he represents, even though the man and woman belong to opposite seasons: he to autumn and she to springtime.
