Semina il vento

Nica, 21, drops out of her university course in agronomics and returns home to Apulia in southern Italy after three years away. She finds her father deep in debt, a polluted, devastated region, and olive trees destroyed by a parasite. Everyone seems to have given up in the face of the vast ecological disaster, while her father is obsessed with uprooting the olive grove to make money from the land. Nica fights with all her might to save the ancient trees. But the pollution has also contaminated people's minds, and she will have to face unexpected obstacles... SOW THE WIND (SEMINA IL VENTO) is an Italian-French-Greek feature film that closely links ecological disaster and family conflict. Director Danilo Caputo accompanies his protagonist Nica, who uses her knowledge of agricultural science and her grandmother's traditional rituals to fight against environmental destruction, industrial toxins, and indifference. Its participation in the Panorama section of the 2020 Berlinale and other festival presentations underscore the appeal of this ecological drama. With tranquil images, the barren landscape of Apulia, and the contrast between factory smokestacks and olive groves, SOW THE WIND (SEMINA IL VENTO) makes a powerful plea for resistance, responsibility, and the hope that a young generation will fight for its future in time.
