Over a million people live in the so-called red zone, ready to be evacuated at the first sign of an eruption. Perhaps. The film relates the stories of those who live there on this “time bomb” and who, despite the danger, are linked to this land of fire, to the traditions and superstitions on the black mountain, Vesuvius, which overlooks the city, as if was the true and only master.
