Synopsis

On that hill there was nothing, just an untended vineyard and an abandoned farmhouse. On that piece of uncultivated land, Riccardo Mannoni built a world of salvation and hope. By respecting his rules, on the Hill you will discover the freedom of living together, a freedom different from the excesses that become prisons. This is what Riccardo promises to anyone who crosses that gate: the Hill can tear you away from heroin and restore you to life. Ivan is the favorite son of that kingdom. He earned Riccardo's trust, becoming his chauffeur, the person entrusted with the most delicate tasks. On the Hill, Ivan met Barbara, restless and rebellious. They fell in love and married, after obtaining Riccardo's permission. Because he decides who you can love and who you must hate. Valentina was born and raised in a community, an enchanted garden surrounded by greenery where everyone has somewhere to sleep and eat. Everyone works and is equal; money doesn't exist. But not everyone knows, and many pretend not to, that it's impossible to escape from that paradise. There are "angels" for that; anyone who tries is caught and brought back by any means, always. And salvation sometimes comes through humiliation, beatings, chains, and solitary confinement. A treatment that tastes like a sentence.
