Is it possible to think of cinema at a non-human scale? Anna Cornudella transports us in her debut film to a world in which human beings need to disappear for 3 months of the year to hibernate. In the long night, Carla begins the search for her brother Erin, who has woken up prematurely and is missing. This journey will trigger a reflection on our relationship with the ecosystem, in an ecological utopia in which we no longer occupy a position of privilege. Winner of the FIPRESCI award in Berlin, the film challenges the imaginary of the classic science fiction and questions our current coexistence with nature.
