For more than a year the volcano boiler Engaged in a very slow and powerful volcanic eruption: black ash and constant smoke enveloped you, the city on its slopes, causing its gradual depopulation and declaring a restricted area, accessible only to a few remaining residents and visitors with special permissions. In this leaden atmosphere, some scientists are trying to analyze the data coming from the craters and ash, but find no confirmation of their scientific predictions. To complicate the situation further, From the ash from the volcano, people covered with a black blanket begin to appearEach of them is ready to relive events from the past and family secrets, while the heat of the volcano melts the glaciers, allowing ancient bodies to resurface from the bitter cold.

boilerA lame tale that repels and attracts at the same time

All this pushes towards clearly marking the alienation that exists in the territory of this volcanoand continually emphasizing how detached this area is from the outside world, both geographically and emotionally, allowing the characters’ feelings to be conveyed by the surroundings rather than their faces. In this way, a unique and well-connected entity is created between the local people and their volcano, which has always accompanied them and which obviously has profoundly shaped their lives. It all starts to make sense in the last two episodes, even such a slow and sluggish pace of the story, even if it’s true that of all who started the series, there wouldn’t be many who wouldn’t be discouraged by the initial slowness in getting it. to the end. In this wonderful relationship on the one hand and disgusting on the other, the viewer can find complete satisfaction only by reaching the end, even if, as we have mentioned, it is not at all obvious to reach.
