SYNOPIS
Partners:
The world seen through the eyes of animals from the sea to the edge of the desert. The gradation of destruction and the increasingly severe human interference show how nature is becoming dead before our eyes. In the entire film, only two words appeare: "Watch out".
TRIGGER WARNING: Please note that the film contains sensitive content—drastic depictions of dead animals.
