Mudhole

Germany2022fiction26'Międzynarodowy konkurs krótkometrażowy (2023)

In 2039, a delegation of the International Climate Tribunal arrives at Moddergat, a small village on the Dutch coast. The time has come to make a human sacrifice to Mother Earth or other forces. Who, if not humans, is responsible for the terrible condition of our planet? Can a volunteer change his mind at the last moment when the tide is about to come and the world is looking? Dystopian in its atmosphere, the films is a tragicomic tale about ecology, politics and cruelty in the name of noble causes. At certain moments, it resembles a folk horror or a black comedy.
