AMOOSED: A MOOSE ODYSSEY

A sacred animal, a mediator between different worlds, appearing only to those who truly need to encounter it. This is how director and ethnologist Hana Nováková describes the moose, whose encounter marks a turning point in her life. Driven by the desire to unravel its mysteries, she embarks on a journey that takes her from the forests of the Czech Republic to the most remote regions of Russia and Canada. Through the testimonies she gathers along the way, a portrait gradually emerges of a creature that remains largely unknown, a keeper of secrets still beyond human understanding. The journey in search of the moose thus becomes the starting point for a broader reflection on the increasingly fragile bond between humankind and the natural world.
