    • Inspired by a true story, the film is a full immersion experience in the "Land of Fires", the largest illegal waste dump in Europe. In a small village in Campania, a farmer family lives the drama of a violated territory, contaminated by 'poison' that cruel criminal organizations have spread in most of the area. They go through the pain of the disease of the head of their family, Cosimo, and the several conflicts caused by his illness.
