On the Third Planet from the Sun

On the Third Planet from the Sun

Country: Ireland
Year: 2006
Duration: 31'


The North of Russia, forty-five years after testing the H-Bomb. Nature is suspended in a time-like-water, bunch of insects dog farmers while crossing silent fields, like people astray on the debris of nuclear experiments. Post-atomic realism in scenery torn away from a rotten science-fiction.
