Synopsis
Along one of the most beautiful rivers in Europe an ecological catastrophe has invisibly taken place for many years. The cement plant, which employed the majority of the local population, helping thus to improve their living conditions, used asbestos in its production processes. This mineral fibre has been prohibited since 1996, but the consequences of its use in the past are becoming even more visible now.
