The Southern Gas Corridor is Europe's largest energy project ever conceived, a pipeline approximately 3500 kilometers long that runs from Azerbaijan to southern Italy. Greek farmer Themis, retired teacher Ippazio, and young activist Giacomo, whose lives and lands are affected and disrupted by the pipeline's construction, know this well. The three will join forces in an international struggle to oppose the project, unafraid of the possible consequences of their protests, but moved by a deep desire to protect the environment, democracy and European values. A human portrait of a battle that is still ongoing.
