What a charming and delicate, but nonetheless definite way to say how mankind is estranged from nature!!! Not sloppy or mawkish, but heart-warming and honest; no pure intellectual and literate writing, but poetic beauty in every word and frame. This little  pearl deserves  a lot more viewers. I hope that it won´t be dubbed then for the US, because it has such a nice, not translatable or imitable off-narrator.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
