The year is 2070 and you are about to be catapulted into an absurd, yet eerily plausible yoga session. Through an odyssey that transcends the bounds of conventional cinema, a captivating experiment unfolds, one that plunges its participants into profound contemplations on the interplay between humanity, nature and the wellness industry.

At the heart of this journey, is a gilded figure who gracefully undertakes a series of poses under the guidance of an off-screen narrator. Through celestial cues, serenity takes a surreal turn, evolving into a paradoxical and ultimately rather uncomfortable experience. Unfolding disrupts the instructor's role as a spiritual guide, illuminating the delicate dance between humanity and the environment.

Anne Fehres and Luke Conroy weave a narrative that challenges preconceived notions about our relationship to the natural world. By doing so, they invite viewers to reimagine their surroundings and actively respond to the climate crisis, through a distinctive, emotional approach that fosters empathy for both the human and the non-human in our existence. Their methodology combines visual stimulation, profound content and a dash of humour, providing a unique lens through which to explore the urgent issue of our time.
