5 verhalen over onze relatie met moeder aarde.
We beginnen op het platteland van Transsylvanië, waar de opgroeiende Nicusor aan het einde van een lange zomer wil helpen met de oogst. Dan reizen we met 4 vrienden mee naar Calais, waar zij met een laser proberen te bewijzen dat de aarde plat is. Om te landen op een poëtische reis in het overweldigende IJslandse landschap. Na de pauze landen we in Finland en proberen hier een lange winter te overleven en eindigen in de Spaande bergen bij Julen en Jose, een van de laatste schaapsherders in de regio.

VIER VRIENDEN OP EEN PLATTE AARDE
Tim Bary • Nederland • 27’
In Four Friends on a Flat Earth, four friends set off on a road trip to Calais to prove with a laser experiment that the Earth is flat. The friends, who have known each other since high school, each have their own reasons for undertaking the journey. For one, the result of the test must provide hard proof that the Earth is flat, while the other is not so sure yet but is open to an alternate truth. On the journey, they share their experiences from their previous lives, their pains and desires; secrets they did not share with others before. We come to understand better what their belief in the Flat Earth means for themselves and for their friendship. Together they live towards the moment of truth as they conduct their experiments on the white cliffs of Calais. Will this give them the proof they are hoping for?

SQUARE THE CIRCLE
Hanna Hovitie • Finland • 17’
Square the Circle is a little circular film about one person’s round trip out to the (un)known universe and into themselves, in search of a sense of belonging. To “square the circle” is an attempt to do the impossible: look into infinity, accept the perpetual passing of time, survive a long dark winter in the Northern Hemisphere or find one’s own place when you don’t quite fit in. To be a circle in a world of squares.
A MOUNTAIN OF MEMORIES
Julen Zubiete • Spanje • 26’
