Festival of Inconsequentiality

Manager Cornelia tasks curator Florian with creating a museum for ecological art for the »Sustainability in German Industries Foundation«. What would a life look like that remained – in an ecological sense – as inconsequential as possible?

Through his project, Florian meets artist Lisa, who plants trees to produce charcoal for her installations and drawings – and thus bind CO2 from the atmosphere in her artworks. He meets John, a radical eco activist who fights the coal industry and the deforestation of the Goldbacher Forest, Issa, a refugee who questions Florian’s self-certainties, the frustrated PR executive Suzanna, who creates environmental policies for the EU but would prefer to farm bees, and miner Ronald, who fears for his job. Hubris meets existential fear, desperation meets hope, activism meets violence. Unexpected relationships are formed and find their explosive culmination in the lavish »Festival of Inconsequentiality«.
