Darßer NaturfilmFestival 2025: Program section "Lookout"
In the forests of the eastern Himalayas, moths whisper their secrets to us. Two curious observers illuminate the darkness of the night and shed light on this hidden universe. Together they embark on an expedition to decipher these nocturnal creatures in a remote "ecological hotspot" on the border between India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply haunting film that takes the audience to a rarely seen place and challenges us all to take a closer look at the hidden connections of nature.
