THE ISLAND (working title)

  • Sara Rastegar
  • Simone Pozzi
  • France, Italy

Off the coast of Sicily, the Stromboli volcano has lit up the night since antiquity. On this island where life and death exist side by side without respite, where everything can be annihilated at any moment, the gods have given way to humans. Beneath the craters, they attempt to inhabit
a world that is itself on the brink of collapse.
