Easter Island is the second-most remote island from a continent in the world, after the Tristan da Cunha archipelago. It is located in the Pacific Ocean 3,680 kilometres away from Chile (of which it is part), inhabited for centuries by a population of Polynesian origin (for whom its name is Rapa-Nui). Exploited by European colonisers from the 18th century onwards, visited by archaeologists, anthropologists and tourists attracted by the moai, the large tuff statues that people its coastlines, and filmed thousands of times, it has a stable population and an administration that manages the existence of the community, including justice. The presence, on this isolated territory from which escape is difficult, of a prison, even if it is a building without walls, is therefore a bizarre paradox...

After an earthquake, forgetting is survival, and the camera shouldn't record the destruction but what remains standing, because that's what will disappear next time. “Earth in Motion” is a journey around the perimeter of an epicenter in search of the seismic human, that kind of nation scattered across the world that lives on the edge of tectonic plates and lacks a national identity.
