Just Another Day in Paradise

"If you want to change your life with all your heart, you can do it!" Alcindo has overcome his family's poverty in the volcano 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 at the foot of the volcano in the circle of his family. 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 in their hands. In impressive images and with simple clarity, this film shows at the same time the vulnerability and the power of nature and people. Each image and each conversation sensitively captures these contrasts. And when the lava dances on the volcano, we understand the magic and violence of life.
