Pirópolis

SYNOPSIS:

“PIRÓPOLIS” immerses us in the fiery port city of Valparaíso through “Pompe France,” a humble company of volunteer firefighters with diplomatic ties to France. Amidst forest fires and the spread of flames toward the city, they challenge their status quo by welcoming women into the brigade and confronting the departure of their captain.
