Viva a temp!

Basilicata figures as mother and step-mother: the pure beauty of its landscape and culture contrasts with a sense of uncertainty, destruction, and abandonment, a disrupted relationship between inhabitants and their land, and man and nature. This is particularly evident in the still oil wells, the asbestos-filled factories, and the disused tourist centers. Guided by the film director and inspired by the local magic ceremonies and rituals of southern Italy, three young people try to establish a dialogue with their land, exorcising the specter of abandoned places, in an attempt to gain an opportunity for the future and take into their own hands the fate of places which have become a metaphor for many others like them around the world.
