In his second feature-length documentary, director Tomáš Elšík quietly explores the social and philosophical dimensions of a modern phenomenon: observing the consequences of human activity on the planet, sparking change. The film asks whether we can reawaken our senses and return to seeing the world not as something to dominate, but as a living whole we’re only a part of. Fortunately, there are still people who perceive the world around us as a living organism and who refuse to accept the environment’s rapid loss of biodiversity. They fight for their cause through legal means, though often in ways reminiscent of guerilla tactics. Pavel, a trained forest engineer, has dedicated his life to protecting wetlands, spring-fed meadows, peat bogs, and the rare plants that depend on them. Klára hasn’t come to terms with human ruthlessness and together with her two specially trained dogs, she scours the landscape for deadly bait traps that threaten endangered birds.
