- Synopsis
- Naples, Italy. More than 20 years mafia men buried industrial and toxic waste in the fertile soil around the Vesuvio. It turned out to be a multi billion dollar business. But the fields are poisoned and toxic vapors rise from vegetable patches. There is a dramatic increase of cancer rate among adults and children. Parents are desperate.
  After the cancer induced death of eight old year Marianna her mother joins the fight of the other mothers against the mafia who leave their families to their own. Nevertheless, the number of people demonstrating continues to constantly grow. Eventually they are lead by a priest. As the situation becomes more and more critical only a miracle can help. God decides to make his way to Naples – himself.
