Since 1956, the Salto di Quirra region in Sardinia is a weapons testing area both for Italy and its allies. This creates a war environment in one of the world’s most sophisticated tourist spots. If among the mountains the landscape seems relatively unharmed, this documentary makes visible what is hidden from naked eyes: the signs of devastation and the contaminated soil which has given rise to deformities both in humans and in animals. With no interviews, this documentary employs only images as a way of pointing out the damage at stake. Berlin Film Festival 2013.
