Plot: Pozzuoli and its surroundings are places with an ancient and distant history. Thus we are reliving some dramatic episodes of an almost forgotten past: the matricide of Agrippina by Nero; the oracles of the Sibilla Cumana; the young Christian martyr Artema, killed by his classmates; Maria 'the crazy', a warrior heroine who saved the city from enemies. But next to the past is the present. In the early seventies, the phenomena of bradyseism flare up in the gulf. The Gioia family, which lives on fishing, is forced to leave the house several times because of the risk of a sudden landslide. Repeated moves lead to the progressive disintegration of the family unit. The difficult relationships sentimental of the children, the opposition to the public force that orders the eviction, the death of the father are so many stages that mark painful generational and existential passages.
