A group of children from Longarone celebrating the arrival of the gifts sent by Epoca to console them for the industrial disaster which occurred on the night of 9 October 1963 at the artificial hydro-electric lake of Vajont. It was caused by a colossal landslide of the overhanging mountains into the alpine lake below causing an overwhelming of the dam and the destruction of the upper valleys of Venezia, including that of Longarone.
