Synopsis
Seven auteurs scattered across the world chronicle this challenging moment in the planet’s history in their own unique and distinctive styles. Ranging from an intimate family drama at the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak, to a documentary about the invasive threats of cyber-surveillance, to a poetic observation of swarming insects during a balmy monsoon. This anthology succeeds in celebrating the defining differences of our individual experiences whilst simultaneously, and somewhat reassuringly, finding a commonality in this unprecedented global phenomenon.
