Synopsis

This film collection poignantly addresses the pressing issues of our time, from environment and climate to the changing worlds of work.

With Ice Merchants, our journey begins where a father and his son brave the dangers of a hanging ice house to earn their living. Along the Morava border river, reliéf Relief takes us through stunning landscapes, raising historical and cultural questions. We Are the Earth delves into a world marred by environmental pollution, yet it portrays a passionate hope for a better future. Primitive Times poses intriguing questions about the origin of work life, and Internet Gaga offers a critical look at the highs and lows of the digital revolution. Velhice traces the impacts of humans on the landscapes we inhabit. Ready provides a unique insight into the lives of the employees of the Greek Parliament, and finally, Aralkum takes viewers on a journey through the desolate landscape of the Aral Desert - a powerful testament to the consequences of human intervention in nature.
