In search of a cure for the impact of overpopulation on the environment, a group of Norwegian scientists discover how to shrink people to just under five inches tall. The invention is quickly popularised when people realise just how far their money stretches in the context of this Lilliputian world. The promise of a better life lures Paul Safranek and his wife Audrey to downsize, leaving their dull life in Omaha in favour of a luxurious miniature community. But for this couple, things do not go precisely to plan…

After The Snow Leopard, nature photographer Vincent Munier takes us to the heart of the Vosges forests. This is where he learned everything from his father Michel, a naturalist who spent his life on the lookout in the woods. It is time for them to pass on this knowledge to Simon, Vincent’s son. Three perspectives, three generations, a shared fascination with wildlife. With them, we will discover deer, rare birds, foxes, lynx… and sometimes even the flapping wings of the legendary capercaillie. Whispers in the Woods invites us to experience the forest and let it overwhelm us with its textures, smells, and sounds. See it under the stars!

This film explores class differences, belonging, human closeness, and the search for identity – from shame to pride. It is a radically tender coming-of-age story accompanied by a wealth of fresh, alternative music.
