In a future where forests are extinct and Earth’s atmosphere is collapsing, a 75-year-old biologist recalls a pivotal moment from 2022—her encounter with the last guardian of the Pampean woods—in a haunting, infrared-shot journey through memory, loss, and ecological collapse.
Synopsis
By the year 2063, humanity teeters on the brink of evacuation. With Earth's forests long gone and oxygen levels dwindling, biologist Diana, now 75, uses her mind to travel back to 2022—a time when the last vestiges of wild nature still flickered in the Pampean forests of Argentina. There, she remembers Miguel, a solitary figure devoted to protecting the endangered Caldén trees from fire and poaching. Shot entirely with infrared cameras, The Dusk of Species transcends visual norms to immerse us in a world of hidden light, revealing the unseen energy of life and the silent approach of extinction. As Diana reflects on the choices that led to Earth's downfall, the film becomes both a speculative vision of the future and a poetic call to action in the present. This is not just a film—it’s a sensory exploration of loss, memory, and the vital urgency of protecting the natural world before it vanishes completely.
