Introduction
From wild horses stampeding across scorched Galician hills to the haunting tones of wind turbines, director Robin Petré crafts an immersive portrait of one of Europe’s most vulnerable wildfire zones, where animals, humans and technology struggle to contend with nature out of balance. Elegant, assured filmmaking combines striking soundscapes with insightful observation and personal testimony to build a subtle yet deeply engaging polemic.
