Ros Meri, her son and the three Ulloa brothers are the only inhabitants of the Turrialba National Park. There, in the foothills of the most active volcano of Costa Rica, their lives are in danger. Today they struggle against abandonment, the impotence of having to leave the only place where they have lived, and the history of a whole town that today falls apart. Since 2007, the Turrialba Volcano became active with the expulsion of ash and toxic gases.
Although for the rest of the country the volcanic activity went unnoticed, the towns located at the slope of the volcano suffered fatal consequences. La Silvia, La Picada and La Central have irreparable damage in their infrastructure, and its territory is considered incompatible with human life. From those lands: ideal for livestock, with dozens of houses, with a school, church and active social dynamics: only the memory remains.
