"It's happening right now"
The planet is facing an inevitable environmental and humanitarian crisis as the "climate clock" ticks down. The trailer starts in a dead forest, destroyed by fires, with a grandfather clock marking the time we have left. As midnight strikes, the clock hands spin backward, and the environment is restored to its former splendour, with a majestic swarm of butterflies representing the human potential to limit the damages of the crisis. This doesn’t have to be the end.
An Escape Studios short film written, directed and produced by Henry Claud N'Guetta and Enrico Vaccari.
