"Poison: The Land of Fires" - presented at the 74th Venice International Film Festival – is a full immersion experience in the Land of Fires, the largest illegal waste dump in Europe, a dramatic environmental disaster that cannot be kept quiet. The new movie by Diego Olivares depicts the bitter reality of this small part of Italy violated and infected by the poison of waste and corruption. A farmer family living in a small village outside of Naples suffers the consequences of the poisoned earth around them and the pain caused by the disease that the head of the family has contracted.

This Gomorrah spin-off finds the notorious, indestructible Naples mobster Ciro Di Marzio in Riga, Latvia, where he turns a low-level counterfeit goods syndicate into a major drug trafficking enterprise – despite the incalculable risks. After reuniting with his first mentor Bruno and receiving his latest mission, an exiled Ciro is left to fearlessly confront whatever comes his way, navigating a new chapter of gang warfare while grappling with devastating memories of loss and trauma. Weaving between Ciro’s past as an orphan in Naples’ cruel underworld and present as a hardened, cunning assassin with nothing left to lose, The Immortal (L’Immortale) plunges into the cold, dark depths of a world where immortality is just another form of damnation.
