"We walk cracked earth. We draw water from vanishing rivers. And still, hands rebuild. Across forests in Nepal, flooded fields in Fiji, quilombola villages in the Amazon, and drought-hardened lands in Kenya, women, girls, trans, intersex, and non-binary people from rural, Indigenous, Black and Afro-descendant communities trace the shape of another future. They hold water like memory, tenderly, persistently. They heal, teach, resist, and root.
This film follows their movements, their voices, their everyday acts of defiance. It listens where official reports stay silent. It lingers where real solutions live—by the rivers, in collective kitchens, beneath trees that still stand. It is a love letter to those holding the world together, and a long breath against disappearance."
