Through the relationship between Maria Prata and her grandmother, Laura Góes, the documentary explores why so many people prefer not to confront issues related to the climate crisis despite the wealth of available information and the occurrence of recurring global tragedies. The film interweaves the pair’s walks through the century-old garden the family matriarch planted in the mountains of Rio de Janeiro state with interviews featuring prominent figures who have, in one way or another, engaged with this conversation.

00:07Eu tenho que salvar a planeta, mas eu preciso de novo sneakers.
00:12Essa é a minha editora de Fashion Persona,
00:14na minha vez para um evento em New York.

01:07The world is doomed.
01:09I've heard that so many times before.

01:15It's as if we can't imagine futures different from the present.
01:19Climate communication is clearly suffering from fatigue.
01:23This alarmist communication, right, it's very harmful.
01:27Do this, do this, don't do that.
01:29I think that's not a good way.
01:30How do we reach the people?
01:32Stories transform more than numbers.
01:34And if we don't mobilize emotionally, we don't change, do we?
01:38If the climate crisis is already a fact,
01:41why on earth can't we move toward the necessary change?
01:48Since my great-great-grandfather's time, the world was doomed.
01:53The world isn't doomed, it's found.
