On September 19th, 2021, after 50 years, a new volcano emerged on the island of La Palma. During the months of the eruption, a group of childhood friends shared audio messages via WhatsApp; creating a daily chronicle of wander and tragedy, far from the media narrative. A collective portrait of the friendship and the spirit of the people of a land, which from time to time, have to live
through the hypnotic and devastating power of nature.
