Synopsis:

Stefano Terranova died on September 11, 2009, crossing the railroad tracks during a storm at the train station “Paradiso”. Shaken by the loss of his close friend “Terra”, director Kevin Merz decided to make a film. Terra was a unique young man, sensitive and at times radical with his views. He was a gifted artist; sadly he also become heavily drug addicted. Through the story of Terra the audience gains an intimate glimpse into a subculture of a provincial town of Switzerland. Terra is a moving reflection on friendship, addiction, and youth.
