A poetic documentary road movie following a young engaged couple on a journey through the landscape of their childhood, confronting their shared future in the face of a planetary ecological crisis. An intimate observational documentary told on the edge of empty narration.
The earth is scorched; trees are dying; species are becoming extinct; rivers are drying up. Human interventions have thrown the ecosystem off balance. The irreversible changes will have
a devastating impact. A trip of a young urban couple to the country provides a base for a spontaneous poetic contemplation on dried-up landscape and mankind‘s environmental grief. Nature has ceased to be a relaxing place. Looking at nature can cause anguish. In this film about contradictions of ecological awareness, the ability to articulate such grief, be it through a prosaic statement or poem, meets the inability to let go off one‘s thoughts and feelings, to think outside the box and act on it.
