In their backyard, a mother and her son share the final day on Earth. The boy senses the signs — the unrest of animals, the rebellion of plants — as he faces the imminence of loss.
A boy feels the shadow of an irreversible environmental catastrophe drawing near. In the quiet of his backyard, he chooses to spend the last day before the world transforms beyond recognition alongside his mother. There, he witnesses the signs — the unrest of animals, the uprising of plants — while confronting the imminence of loss: not only the loss of a future he once imagined, but also the fragile bond that ties him to this woman and to this place. Guided by poetry, Late on the Planet is a meditation on the weight we give to the idea of finitude and on our precarious relationship with the more-than-human world. Inspired by the novel of the same name by Leonardo Piana.Read moreLess
