Lessons in Fire
Palava maa
In the scorched hills of Portugal, fire is spoken of as "him" — a force of both beauty and destruction, as volatile as the wind. Into this world steps a Finnish wildfire team, strangers to such infernos. With rare access to Portugal's veteran crews, the film brings us breathtakingly close to the frontline, where danger and care intertwine. The film is a story of mentorship, humility, and trust forged in the glow of a changing climate.
