Synopsis:
The Southern Gas Corridor, spanning 3500 kilometers from Azerbaijan to southern Italy, represents Europe's largest energy endeavor. Greek farmer Themis, retired teacher Ippazio, and young activist Giacomo feel the pipeline impacts their lives and lands. Together, they unite in a global fight against the project, undeterred by potential consequences, driven by a profound desire to safeguard the environment, democracy, and European values. It is a human portrait of a battle that is still ongoing.
