Stefano Terranova died on September 11, 2009 while crossing the railroad tracks during a storm at the Paradiso station. Shaken by the loss of his close friend Terra, the director decided to make a film. Terra was a unique young man, sensitive and yet at times with radical views. He was a gifted artist; sadly he also become heavily drug addicted. An intimate glimpse into a subculture in a provincial town of Switzerland. A reflection on friendship, addiction, and youth.
L'11 Settembre 2009 Stefano Terranova, 31 anni, chiamato «Terra» dagli amici, muore in un tragico incidente mentre attraversa con un'amica i binari nella Stazione di Lugano Paradiso. Per ricordare il suo amico scomparso, il regista Kevin Merz realizza un documentario, diario visivo di un'amicizia e sguardo intimo su un universo giovanile fatto di skate, droghe e subcultura.
