Corsica draws tourists for its beaches and cliffs, but the film's reporters find a darker statistic underneath the postcard views: a murder rate that outpaces much of the rest of Europe. The investigation follows the trail of gangland killings across the island, talking to locals, officials, and journalists trying to explain why so many disputes here end in gunfire rather than court. Old vendetta traditions, organized crime rivalries, and a culture of silence around who did what to whom all come up as the reporters push past the usual tourist-brochure image of Corsica. Interviews take place in towns and villages where everyone seems to know more than they will say on camera, and the film uses that reluctance itself as evidence of how deep the problem runs. It is a short, pointed look at a place where sun and sand sit uneasily next to an unsolved wave of violence.
