Heartwood tells the story of Agostino, a farmer’s son who is on a mission to save his region’s olive trees from a natural disaster. Xylella Fastidiosa is the most deadly pathogen known to mankind that has already infected and killed 20 millions of trees in Southern Italy. When Agostino learns that science is still searching for a cure, he decides to follow the disease back to its roots in Latin America. From the savannas of Brazil, the highlands of the Mayan Peninsula and the deserts of Colombia, Agostino chronicles the efforts of indigenous people to save their traditions and persevere in the face of climate change, while searching for a cure.
