We are surrounded by it everywhere: nature. The filmmakers Florian Fischer (* 1981) and Johannes Krell (* 1982) illustrate the different facets nature can take on in their video.

In Kaltes Tal (Cold Valley, 2016), the filmmakers explore a paradox: man-made damage to nature can only be repaired by further destroying nature. This becomes visible in an open-cast lime mine. The salvaged material is processed and returned to nature through forest liming in order to counteract the soil pollution caused by acid rain. A cycle like a Möbius loop - due to the irreversible consequences of raw material extraction in order to restore the fragile balance of nature.
