All alone and with an extraordinary amount of willpower, Melina has chosen to undertake a journey into the unknown, sacrificing her own family to defend Holy Mother Earth. The rubbish that has invaded every corner of this world expresses and confirms humanity’s actions against nature. Melina’s mission is a demiurgic effort to restore light into people’s hearts and to physically reinstate order within the disorder of the everyday. This documentary depicts the humble and silent work of a woman who has given her life for her fellow beings.
