Heaven is a place on Earth

synopsis

Imagine a group of friends who met through the climate movement. For several years, you have fought alongside others for a fairer future, but little has significantly changed, leaving you somewhat exhausted. Now, you go away for a weekend at a cottage to rest—and during that time, you find yourselves in an apocalypse for a single day.

A collective film, a first-year exercise at the Department of Documentary Film, exploring friendship in the shadow of an uncertain future.
