Based on the legend about a power-mad ex-prime minister who stole a sand dune on the south coast of Sardinia, LA DUNA revolves around the question of who actually owns the land. A collection of fairytale, absurd and true stories about ownership, migration and resistance, ranging from an expropriated farmer scaring off Nato with goat skulls and a fictitious warfare scenario containing the invention of Africa through a housewife disguised as a psychologist and a scattered Sardinian family preparing a large pile of couscous, to populist environmentalists, tons of sand in plastic bottles and an enduring battle for the narrative.
