Set in fascist Italy in 1935, a doctor‑trained painter is forced into exile in the remote, rugged countryside near Eboli. Initially alienated and skeptical, he gradually befriends the local peasants, coming to value their simple beauty, ancient wisdom, and communal spirit, which helps him overcome his loneliness and find a new sense of purpose.
