Climate change has lengthened the dry season and with it the fire season. Fire is blamed on arsonists, the prevention system and human neglect. Today, fire has become a symbol of death and destruction.
Yet civilization has developed around it. Since archaic times, the ability to harness, direct and fight fire differentiates us from other living beings.
"Fires" is a choral documentary that invites us to reconstruct the lost relationship between man and fire. A plural narrative that comes to life in Sardinia, an island in southern Italy increasingly afflicted by the scourge of summer fires. A territory where the struggle to extinguish is mixed with the stories of those who suffer the flames on their skin; people, flora and fauna without any discrimination.
