Adventure

A Great Story Never Ends

A small group of tourists lands on the island of Stromboli to hike the volcano, one of the most active in the world. They are accompanied by Dr. Marino, a volcanologist, and her eleven-year-old grandson Alex, who is running away from boredom. The group struggles up the slopes of the mountain, where the wind whirls the black sand, but suddenly, Alex and the others feel the ground tremble beneath their feet… and begin to fall. After a long and terrifying descent, they find themselves at the bottom of a rock shaft. Alive, but prisoners in the bowels of the Earth.

Following in the footsteps of the protagonists from Jules Verne’s novel, and discovering wonderful places and inhabitants, Alex and his companions will search with all their energy for a way to return to the surface.
