A vast, rocky desert. A lone woman struggles to preserve the last remaining bit of the last remaining glacier with a crazy patchwork of cloth and rags that she retrieves from the abandoned valleys. Sisyphus' work. Only at night, when the blazing sun has disappeared, other creatures appear. Wolves and mountain goats drink in unison from the last source of water. And the woman is no longer alone.

Started in 2018, the project – comprised of 11 segments by filmmakers from all around the world – reflects on the intertwined relationship between human society and nature that is aggravated by climate change on multiple scales, hinting at possible solutions.

Andrej Medvedev is the first Wagner Group mercenary who fought for Russia in Ukraine and fled to the West. He now lives in Oslo, is applying for political asylum, and says he wants to “find peace”. But he himself stands in the way of his integration in Norway, because despite his escape from Putin’s realm, Andrej remains a staunch Russian patriot. He has renounced Wagner and the war, but whether he will ever be able to leave his inner Russia behind is completely uncertain.
