Panorama II: Living With Planet Earth

In the programme “Panorama 2: Living With Planet Earth”, life isn’t easy and hurdles are part of life. The fragile coexistence of humans and animals is portrayed in “Zima”. The three films “There Are People in the Forest”, “Percebes” and “No Room” examine the mechanisms behind wars, mass tourism and the destruction of the environment. And living beings struggle with loneliness (“Tennis, Oranges”) as well as with the prospect of being taken over by artificial intelligence (“A Different Goal”).

Zima

Anka loves cats. And Jesus. In a winter silence the lagoon freezes and the unspoken resurfaces like crack on ice. Mosaic portrait of a small fisherman's village where human to human, human to animal, animal to animal interdepend on a delicate balance of warm tender care and cold emotional cruelty.
