A young man, born and raised in the vastness of the galaxy, lands on an unknown planet. As he surveys the landscape, he recognises fragments from ancient stories. Driven by a quiet urgency, he contacts his ship’s command to retrieve archival recordings of the last humans to abandon earth. Slowly, it dawns on him that he has returned to his ancestral home.

Director's Statement

This film emerges from a profound concern for the climate emergency and a desire to reconnect with the natural world. It explores our intrinsic bonds with Earth through the lens of a speculative future, one where environmental collapse has forced humankind to abandon the planet. Interwoven with this fictional narrative is a documentary interview with an Indigenous elder, who shares her deep reverence for the mountains and speaks to the essential role nature plays in our collective wellbeing and survival.
