Earth Evocation

Man lives and leaves traces of himself. It is not true that we came to Earth in order to live. We came to sleep, to have dreams. Already in his early shorts, Lehmuskallio explored cave painting and looked back on the state of the planet before technical progress. He first addressed prehistoric art in Minä olen (1992), which this film follows up on. Finns and Sami interviewees, together with the directors, reflect on the planet and the past, whose vestiges remain to this day. This is a treatise on humanity’s destiny in this world and an attempt to answer the question of what it means to be human.
