Synopsis
In the village of Anhovo, a century-old asbestos factory brought hope, jobs, and homes... But also disease, suffering, and death. Through wars and regimes, the factory endured. Today, it is still belching smoke, as time stands still under the White Veil. The film gives voice to those silenced by progress and asks what remains when the skies clear.

As a child of the 1990s, I was afraid of asbestos roofs and their remnants, which are still present despite the ban. Years later, working part-time, a co-worker was breaking off the asbestos sheets and saying that their danger is a myth. This scene has remained in my head to this day, when I made a film.
