What drives men and women to risk their own lives to save those of others? Fuoco Sacro tells the story of the Vigili del Fuoco, the Italian fire department, and does it through the voices of the people who, over half a century of history, have tackled with competence and a spirit of self-sacrifice the greatest calamities that Italy has tragically had to experience at firsthand.

April 9, 2009. Alberto, a firefighter marked by a dramatic past, enters a deserted bar during the news broadcast reporting on the destruction and victims of the earthquake in Abruzzo, which occurred three days earlier. Tormented by the memory of a tragic event, he recognizes an old trophy as a symbol of his pain. Arriving in the earthquake zone, Alberto and his colleagues dig through the rubble, aided by a sniffer dog led by Enrico. When the animal signals something unusual, Alberto decides to intervene. That descent into the ruins becomes a challenge that will force him to confront the shadow of a memory that has never truly been buried.
