A lighthouse on the mountains over Brunate, a beam of light incessantly rotating in the dark, shedding light over something which has remained in the shadows. It illuminates one house.  The house contains members of one family, portrayed in they daily life.  The story revolves around a specific moment in time, when Francesco, the eldest son, spends one year in jail. Around that time each one of the relatives exchanges letters with him. The Tyndall effect is a phenomenon of diffusion of light due to the presence of some particles in the air. It manifests itself, for example, when the car lights are turned on in a foggy day. The same effect is visible from the tower of the lighthouse looking towards the home of the Bianchi’s family.
