Poç transports us to a small mountain community, a place where nature welcomes an anthropic intervention designed for leisure, an object of care and sharing, protected by the community as a precious secret heritage, as “useless” as it is necessary. The film transports us to a small mountain community where time seems to stand still. Immersed in a natural landscape of Alps, woods and clear turquoise-green waters, the local mountain community lives in harmony with nature, following its rhythms and pauses, celebrating age-old rituals and traditions. Every year, in late spring, something unique happens: the care of a pool dug into the rock during the First World War. This place, hidden and protected by the community, is carefully cleaned and not advertised for mass tourism.
