Two little towns perched on the mountain tops of Valle d’Aosta, each one with a language and dialects of his own, but bound together by mutual traditions. One day in an ordinary school, told through the spontaneity and the joy of the pupils of two little elementary schools. A cultural reality, characterised by particularism and a strong local rooting, experienced among the school desks in a fairy-tale scenario, to keep its own identity alive.
