Il Paradiso Perduto
2023
Documentary
Synopsis
Recent scientific discoveries, inspired by Susanne Simard's studies, have shown that trees are much more than we think, they are beings endowed with a complex social structure and communicate with each other thanks to an underground network of relationships capable to generate mutual assistance and the elements of the forest show an altruistic attitude oriented towards the common good. While we usually tend to think of plants as static and solitary organisms, the reality is that they are in constant dialogue with each other, exchanging information and helping each other to face environmental challenges.
Starting from this assumption, the documentary tells an extraordinary story narrated by a tree that tells its own life and that of its brothers, set in the spectacular high-altitude environment of the Italian Alps, illustrated by a photograph inspired by unconditional love.
The young tree speaks to us of its connection with the wood but, referring to the cultural heritage which, starting from the animistic visions of the ancients, culminates with contemporary theosophical thought, quoting, just to name Rudolph Steiner, then extends to the relationship with the Elemental Beings that surround him and in particular with the "Great Beings of the Mountain", a Spiritual Entity longed for by the director, who governs and balances everything in those largely uncontaminated places since the dawn of time.
