    • Synopsis
    • PIRÓPOLIS immerses us in the inflammable city-port of Valparaíso through the "Pompe France," a precarious fire company with diplomatic ties to France. The Captain and his henchman welcome Baptista, a French firefighter who arrives to instruct on the fires caused by eucalyptus monocultures that surround and threaten the city. While a social crisis explodes, the company must deal with the fire of protests and embrace the inclusion of women in their traditional brotherhood. A documentary that witnesses the transformation of a society in a country divided by the flames of discontent.
