The documentary, closely linked to the show Pesticidio, and supported by the Fondazione di Sardegna, gives voice to women and men from Sardinia who tell the feasibility and success of totally eco-sustainable initiatives created with what is usually considered “a problem to be disposed of”. Unexpected visions and opportunities emerge: “zero-cost solutions” that could be applied in different areas and places. From waste, treasures arise is an invitation to take nothing for granted and to share experiences and alternative strategies to the failed “development models” responsible for the progressive exhaustion of life on our planet.
