An essayistic documentary about our human view of moths, but also about climate change and biodiversity.
Moths don’t exactly have the best reputation. They’re often seen as nothing more than pests that prey on clothing and food. Yet this group of insects, which are cousins of butterflies, is aesthetically magnificent and diverse, as we’re shown in stunning and contemplative close-ups of their majestic wings.
