A man’s bedtime stories to a child explore the tensions between humanity and the natural world.
The story
Using the stories a man tells a child before sleep as its framing device, the film considers the uneasy relationship between humanity and nature. It draws on photographs from Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s book Earth from Above to explore how human activity disrupts the natural balance, including the advance of deserts toward cities, intensive agriculture and livestock farming, pollution, and deforestation.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
The film is based on photographs from Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s book Earth from Above. Using as its pretext the stories a man tells a child before the child falls asleep, Renaud Delourme highlights the paradox between nature and humanity, and how humans disrupt this balance: the desert advancing on cities, intensive agriculture and livestock farming, leading to pollution and deforestation.
