L'inondazione che ha colpito il Vajont nel 1963, in particolare i paesi di Longarone, Erto e Casso, a seguito di una frana staccatasi dal monte Toc. Il racconto 60 anni dopo attraverso la voce dei sopravvissuti.

A portrait of the community of Erto, in the Dolomites, which 60 years ago suffered a huge human disaster, due to external ambition and avidity, and still fights for dignity and recognition. Over the past 10 years, the director has filmed the mayor fighting together with his people for not being forgotten by the national institutions. Through the voice of Nature, we see the efforts of the community, which at a certain point breaks up due to a project that aims at creating a work of art on the dam, at the origin of the disaster: while for the mayor and the art curator it is a way to rise up the village and look forward, for some it would be another step to make people forget the tragedy.

Wave heights of some notable tsunamis are compared. Suprisingly, tsunamis comparable to and even higher than the one caused by the Chicxulub impact have occurred in the past century.
