In a desolate Swiss valley overshadowed by high mountains, an ill wind blows evil on the lives of Italian former asbestos factory workers whose lungs harbor the tiny fibers. Archival footage claiming asbestos as a wonder and a symbol of progress is accompanied by the testimony of the workers who face an uncertain fate. The unhealable wounds testify to the lies and injustice in this sad tale.
