A child frustrated by the empty promises and the lack of action taken to stop climate change decides to visit Mother Nature and ask for her help. Being all powerful, she can fight back against the main culprit of Climate Change, the fossil fuel industry.

This powerful film launched in support of the international activist movement, Extinction rebellion, was co-produced by Antiestatico with the German FilmAkademie Baden-Wurttemberg.

The project was truly an international collaboration, with technicians, specialists and crew working and all supporting the project remotely, all donating their time and skills in order to support this timely cause.

One example of the obstacles faced on this project was creating the iceberg sequences, which were particularly challenging. The team came up with the creative solution of making a model using photogrammetry techniques of existing footage from real tabular icebergs, that were donated by Adam Cropp, a National Geographic drone filmmaker from Australia.

Another complexity was finding the location, deciding that Iceland had the raw nature required for this story, just a skeleton crew of Director, DOP, Drone Pilot and the Producer along with the young actress flew to Vik and only the essential shots needed were captured, ensuring the environmental impact was kept to the bare minimum.

Scouting for locations was carried out remotely via satellite imagery, seeking advice from locals and the director's imagination did the rest. Most of the locations were found around the town of Vik, where the team was based. All of the footage with the shaman was shot in Germany, in a replica cottage.

The film is the result of a collective of hard work and uncountable challenges in the middle of the pandemic. The one remaining constant was and is the determination to share this message of support with the rest of the world.
