Synopsis
An essay on the consequences of the human activity on the environment, but also on its own species. The film is divided into four sections.The contrast between the voice-over and the images stresses the differences between the natural state of the environment and the inner state of the MAN. All four sections begin with a symbolic birth. Once out in the daylight, THE MAN gets familiar to the daily teeming, filth and misery. In the second part, THE MAN is presented while participating to a symbolic hunt, where the wood is replaced by the supermarket and the game by products. In the third part, THE MAN confronts the war. The last section presents THE MAN in a hospital. The apocalyptic image of a lurid and dark sky world is not impossible. It is up to us to save what has been left to save.
