Synopsis

The firefighters of Valparaiso’s 5th company are preparing themselves for the season of wildfires, but this year is different; since October 2019, the city has lived the rhythm of the barricades. Piropolis follows the men of this company, testifying to the links between these volunteer firefighters and the citizens of a country on the verge of a tipping point.
