About Time

In the desolate year of 2065, humanity has lost its connection to nature, as fish have vanished from the seas and people have retreated into isolated cities.

His unwavering determination to fulfill his dying wish serves as a beacon of hope, challenging the skepticism of his city-dwelling contemporaries and reminding humanity of the profound bond it once shared with nature.

Consumer consumed. Film by Isabel Pérez del Pulgar
