SYNOPSIS

Forty years later, Rui Simões returns to São Pedro da Cova to share the photographs he took while filming his previous documentaries about the area. From this reunion, he brings a new message for the central government: now it is the toxic waste deposited there that threatens the health of the entire population. Forty years later, from coal to waste, the struggle remains the same.
