An ‘encyclopaedic’ documentary, whose non-human protagonists tell about us humans. The film is divided into three volumes of about 40 minutes, each dealing with a single subject: animals, plants, stones. In this tripartite vision, each of its segment is a tribute to a specific genre of documentary filmmaking. Through the three volumes, a single dramaturgical body emerges, that stages a process of admission of responsibility, a process of maintenance and protection, and finally a process of rediscovery of a common and fundamental value: care.

As a whole, the film is as much a quiet condemnation of man’s extractivist attitudes as it is a cinematic dirge for humankind’s impending exit. Go to Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews 09/09/2024
