This trailer is in Italian, here's the English translation:
In the morning she could hear the earth breathe.
At noon she could hear the grass grow.
In the night she could see where the winds lied down to rest.
Many invisible things were clear to Molly Brant, and as limpid as calligraphy.
Beyond the prow, a labirynth of isles, seaways and drifting logs.
Their people called that place "Manituana", the Garden of the Great Spirit.
A glance was enough to grasp the meaning of the name: water, trees, land and light all around.
A story that crosses the Atlantic,
as wide as a valley, as flowing as a river, at the beginning of the revolution that generated America.
A story from the wrong side of history, from a time when everything was yet possible.
