The documentary was produced in Estonia in 2010. Film director is Marianne Kõrver, script by Kaie Kotov and Marianne Kõrver.
The film presents stories from a well-off lawyer in the rush of Manhattan, a young barber in ancient town of Hasankeyf in Turkey, a family of fisherman on Lake Tonle Sap in Cambodia, and a publisher in the all-eco quarter Vauban in Freiburg in Germany.
This is the first Estonian film on environmental issues that presents a global problem using original shoots from all continents. Its theoretical background is taken from ecosemiotics and semiotics of landscape, not used earlier in such a way.[1][2]
