Synopsis

“If we vanished tomorrow, no organism on this planet would miss us. Nothing in nature needs us”. María Cañas meets the Anthropocene in this search-footage film starring the animals that (hopefully) will take over the world when the most harmful species (the human one) materializes its own destruction.

Iconoclastic pharaoh of guilt-cinema, with her usual visual potency and a dream-like apocalypse inspired by a quote from Edgar Allan Poe: “Dreams, those fragments of death. How I hate them!”
