Das Vermächtnis

What traces do we leave behind after death?

Climate change, species extinction, environmental pollution - the last decades have unmistakably shown that the earth is at its limit. And some people wonder if this is what they want to bequeath to future generations.

This film is the legacy of such a person. After being diagnosed with cancer, a man faces the end of his life. And he decides to invest his saved money in a project dedicated to these issues. A film that takes stock of how we humans deal with the environment and nature. A film that should be made accessible to as many people as possible, free of charge and without regard to quotas.

On his behalf, animal filmmaker Jens Klingebiel is on his way to get a picture of the situation. On his travels he discovers encouraging and shocking things. Humanity is now facing one of its greatest challenges. Which direction will it take?
