Synopsis
Mankind has always striven to free themselves from nature. The history of philosophy is a story of reflections on this tragic effort. Approaching new technological limits, we have found ourselves in new contradictions. Humans have never before been so distant from nature, yet nature has never been a greater threat for humans as a species. It seems the survival of our civilisation is now about intimate choices of its individual members. We have mostly been left to our own devices in this global chaos. The idea for a project was thus born that would feature one-on-one conversations on difficulties of the mankind. The purpose has not been to alleviate anybody’s feeling of solitariness, rather to contribute to the awareness that we are a community of loners. Some exceptional artists, scientists and philosophers were invited, people who can open up their thoughts like only good friends can; no preaching or flattering, just awakening the thoughts lurking in each one us.
