Experiencing Interruptions?

The Value of Things

How can we live more sustainable? Civil engineer Felix, fashion designer Sanaz and food activist Dominik are dealing with this question. They prefer to look for solutions rather than just discuss them. Felix is experimenting with clay as a building material. Sanaz has her own fashion label for which she uses vegan and recycled fabrics. Dominik works on a biodynamic farm, but quickly realizes that he can achieve more with political commitment than with harvesting vegetables. A crew accompanies the three young people and looks for ways to produce their film as sustainable as possible.
They produce their own electricity with bicycles and solar panels, pay attention to sustainable nutrition, work locally and move around by cargo bike or train.
Together they overcome resistance and show that change is possible.
