Thematic areas #CLIMATENOW

“We have forgotten how to work with nature”: from this premise begins a journey through possible approaches to addressing current ecological challenges. Through research into the use of fungi and mycelia, the survival of jellyfish, and agricultural techniques like permaculture, humanity helps nature so that nature, in turn, can help humanity. The film aims to awaken a new awareness: combining human needs with those of nature is possible, even in a world based on exploitation. A sustainable future lies in cooperation between humankind and nature, just as natural elements coexist and interact with one another in a symbiotic way.
