2025 | Wenn kein Baum mehr fällt | play
Four female lumberjacks, four chainsaws, and the last remaining forest.
Once it is flattened, they will probably clean up and leave. Home to nowhere – without a job, without a plan. But instead of retreating, they embark on a surreal journey. The radio starts chirping, the tree stumps mutate into a playground, and memories and catchy tunes rise from a hole in the ground. Here, in the post-apocalyptic fairy-tale forest, loneliness becomes freedom, silence becomes revolt.
