In a climate-ravaged future, a team of scientists analyse footage of farmers from the past, hoping to understand their emotional connection to the land.

Slovenian filmmaker Gregor Božič, who also serves as cinematographer on Fiume o morte! (MIFF 2025), returns with this haunting yet strangely optimistic slice of science fiction dreaming, in which footage of rustic farmers carries the seed of emotional regeneration for a future that has become disconnected from the earth. It’s a provocative and affecting work that captures the enduring vitality of life – and of the moving image.
