Sirens
Germany / Documentary / 13' / 4K / Color / 2022
Monolithic power plants; billowing columns of smoke; the backdrop of a red sun. Shot entirely from helicopters, the film takes us on a journey through industrial wastelands, thus recalling the passage of Ulysses' boat through the Sirens' strait.
