What keeps a society alive and together? What makes sense and the feeling of belonging to something? What does this time actually require of us? Our new short documentary film:Fire | About meaningful lifestarts from these questions and shows various initiatives. From carts that have come into action from what they lack or what touches them. They saw emptiness, injustice or loss and decided to do something about it.
While many people - young and old - are looking for meaning and meaning, these people are working for a meaningful society: with rituals; in particular places; in surprising collaborations; and by forming teams, uniting, and working together on a hopeful future. Because they feel that's what this time is asking of them. The film invites viewers to join and contribute to a meaningful society.
