Plot

PlotCanada British English Canadian Flag icon

Planting tomatoes may seem a safe activity, except when it is conducted on a land confiscated by the State to mafia bosses.http://laltraitalia.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/2857.jpg

The land of local mafioso Nicola Sansone is assigned to a heterogeneous group of people, forming a cooperative.
Although their knowledge is poor, they start working the land boycotted daily by unseen powers. They ask for helpto the Board Antimafia who sends over Filippo, very competent in antimafia laws and regulations, but completely inexperienced to face practical problems. Soon he will have to face his own fears, motivated by his sense of duty, the human relationships he starts to build, and by Rossana, the beautiful founder of the initiative.

 

 

 

Trama

TramaItaly flag

Nicola Sansone è proprietario di un podere confiscato dalla Stato e assegnato a una cooperativa che però non riesce – per questioni burocratiche e sottili boicottaggi – ad avviare l’attività.25041_ppl

Per questa ragione i soci scrivono a un’Associazione esperta di beni confiscati alle mafie. In loro aiuto viene mandato Filippo, un uomo che da anni combatte la mafia da un ufficio, e quindi impreparato ad affrontare la questione ‘sul campo’. Numerosi sono gli ostacoli che Filippo incontra e le paure che deve superare, e spesso deve resistere all’impulso di mollare tutto: lo trattengono il senso del dovere, le strane dinamiche di questa cooperativa di insolite persone cui inizia ad affezionarsi, ed anche Rossana, la bella e determinata ragazza che ha dato il via a tutta l’iniziativa.
