Every summer, hundreds of pilot whales are
hunted in the fjords of the Faroe Islands. It’s locally known as the
“Grind”, a spectacular and bloody tradition. International activists
would like to put an end to it, so that these mammals will stop
suffering. Knife in hand, the Faroese denounce the hypocrisy of those
who eat meat without looking at what is happening in slaughterhouses and
at the industries polluting our planet.

In the southern West Bank, Hamouda and his
cousin Ismail are among the Bedouin drivers who risk their lives
smuggling illegal workers over the border. Between them and the
destination, there is the desert - of which they know every inch - and
the heavy presence of the Israeli military patrols. If they are caught,
they go to jail. Yet only those fares can help them provide for their
families, so they keep on driving and enjoying each day of freedom as it
might just be the last.

In Donbas Ukraine, while precarious truces and
ceasefires are negotiated far away by diplomats, Ukrainian soldiers
fight against separatists supported by Russia.
At an age when some are experiencing the best years of their lives, in
the frontline men and women are fighting, condemned to dig and dig up
again the trenches, while bombs keep on falling on them.
French war journalist and first-time director Loup Bureau takes us on an
immersive and stunning cinematic journey revealing the naked truth and
roughness of survival, in what is called to be the last conflict on
European soil.
