ABOUT

This short is a sensorial ethnographic exploration of the entangled relationships between humans, other-than-human beings, and technologies that shape social life in communities across the province of Piacenza in Italy. The film traces efforts of care and conservation, while also exposing the tensions and complexities of coexisting with wildlife. This is conveyed audiovisually through an experimental layering of conversation fragments with environmental and animal sounds, unfolding across fields, forests, the Trebbia River, and the industrial outskirts of the city. 

Acknowledging the deep interdependence among all beings, it invites viewers to reflect on what it means—and what it might take—to live alongside wolves and other forms of life.
