Please note: The movie may not be available in some countries.

Synopsis: Niscemi, Sicily—its wildfires and its MUOS, those imposing military antennas that mar the landscape. At nearly 30, Valentina still lives with her parents. When her father’s health begins to decline, she is forced to take control of her life. A tender, empowering story rooted in a land that is as beloved as it is ravaged.
