SYNOPSIS

In 2021, the Cumbre Vieja volcano erupted on La Palma (Canary Islands), for 85 days destroying homes and lives along its path. Amid this chaos, Beatriz, a resilient islander, offers a remarkable perspective. Though the eruption destroyed her vineyard and home, she carries no bitterness. Instead, she shares a profound and poetic vision of the intricate bond between humans and earth. The film is an experimental documentary, guided by eclectic Beatriz and unique audio-visual world built through microscopic images and low-frequency sounds of the surrounding nature, making us rediscover and reflect upon the meaning of living in the shadows of such a powerful and unpredictable force, and the connection with it.
