The fragile boundary between human progress and marine survival
In short: This immersive documentary follows a network of volunteers battling the intensifying effects of climate change on Europe's coastlines. It captures the intimate, often grueling work of rescuing wildlife from the wreckage of our own environmental footprint.
The film explores the Anthropocene era through a sensory lens, focusing on animals caught in the crosshairs of oil pollution, plastic waste, and increasingly violent winter storms. Rather than providing easy solutions, it centers on the rehabilitation process to illustrate how human activity has fundamentally altered and estranged the natural world.
By observing these creatures undergoing recovery, viewers are invited to experience a landscape that is becoming deeply fragile. It serves as a poetic confrontation with the consequences of an environment shaped by human hands.
