Sinossi

The short film S’Orcu is the story of a tradition, of a myth that is lost in time. The agrarian rites of ancient civilizations, which mark the passage from the rigidity of winter to the faint awakening of spring, through primitive cruelty, with the sacrifice of the anthropomorphic beast (s’orcu precisely), whose blood awakens and makes the land tested by the cold germinate.
