During summer, colorful beach bars and umbrellas line the pristine white dunes of Porto Pino, while in winter, gunfire and fighter jets dominate the landscape. Part of the dunes lies within Sardinia’s largest military base, accessible to beachgoers only during summer. Over the years, the dunes have visibly shrunk. Locals whisper about a legend: Silvio Berlusconi stole the sand and moved it to his scandal-ridden villa in northern Sardinia.

Starting with this rumor, LA DUNA questions: Who owns the land? The film interweaves true stories of expropriation, resistance, and the struggle for identity.
