In October 2018, an extreme weather event hit north-eastern Italy. A powerful Sirocco wind gusted through the Dolomite valleys, knocking some 14 million trees to the ground. Incessant rain brought logs and debris downstream. Overnight, cellars flooded and houses were torn apart by the winds. The consequences of the storm named Vaia are still tangible more than six years later. With a documentary approach, Matteo de Mayda investigates Vaia’s long-term effects. By analysing what happened and with time to reflect on causes, consequences, and future perspectives, he raises awareness about the climate emergency and the fragile balance between humans and nature.
