Movie content:
"If you want to change your life with all your heart, you can do it!" Alcindo has overcome his family's poverty in the volcanic crater village - Laeticia from France wants to live there with him, on the Cape Verdean island of Fogo. Ex-bodybuilder Vincent was able to escape his traumas in Denmark and find peace with his family at the foot of the volcano. Ralph left Germany behind and created a plant paradise on the inhospitable volcanic island with his love Ella. They all stood on the precipice, all courageously took their lives into their own hands. In impressive images and with simple clarity, this film shows both the vulnerability and the power of nature and people. Every image and every conversation sensitively captures these contrasts. And when the lava dances on the volcano, we understand the magic and violence of life. Morgane Remter
