Bestiaries, herbaria, lapidaries

“Bestiaries, Herbaria, Lapidaries” is an “encyclopaedic” documentary, whose non-human protagonists talk about us humans. The film is divided into three volumes, each dealing with a single subject: animals, plants, stones. In this tripartite vision, each of the segments is a tribute to a specific genre of documentary filmmaking. Through the three volumes, a single dramaturgical body emerges, that stages a process of admission of responsibility, a process of maintenance and protection, and finally of rediscovery of a common and fundamental value: care.
