Synopsis

Twelfth century Italy. Lavagna, Guzco Domar, a disgraced angel and soul collector. is consumed by guilt after collecting the soul of a young mother. Vulnerable, he falls under the sway of a cunning horse trader, Massandar, who tricks Guzco into gambling away his wings. Betrayed and left for dead, Guzco clings to one purpose: to travel to the remote alpine village of Badur to collect the next soul. But he arrives too late. Badur is razed, its people massacred. With no path back to forgiveness, Guzco remains committed to duty, taking on the lives and identities of those whose souls he collects, century after century. Time grinds on, harsh winters, brutal wars, fleeting infatuations. Among strangers and in solitude, Guzco becomes both witness and participant in a world he no longer belongs to. Over the years, whispers emerge of a fallen angel skinned by the Devil. The tale grows into legend threaded with love, betrayal, greed, envy, and ultimately, hope. A legend resilient enough to outlive the Crusades, the Black Death, and both World Wars. But Guzco watches, hidden in plain sight, still waiting and hoping for redemption. Drawn by the allure of the legend, two women, each seeking to reclaim their own fate, journey to the valley. Neither knows the truth behind the myth and unknowingly trust their destinies to Guzco.
