SHORTFILM
"Baumageddon – don't become a tree" depicts the drastic consequences of our reckless treatment of nature. This poignant drama tells the story of Astrid and Holger,
who try to fight against the looming transformation of humanity into trees.
When Astrids friend Tanja suddenly turns into a tree, Astrid is confronted with the shocking effects of the so-called Baumageddon. Astrid realizes that Mother Nature is seeking revenge for our ignorance of the climate crisis, turning us into trees. We must take action now!
In "Baumageddon," the emphasis is on dialogue rather than pointing fingers. Instead of extremes, we celebrate every small step towards sustainability. This is a film for everyone – including you!
