BUT BEAUTIFUL
How’s a good and successful life supposed to look like? Is a “different” life possible at all? This film searches for the answers on these questions. The result is a film about perspectives without fear, about connectedness in music, nature and society, about people with different ideas but one big common goal: a sustainable world. Filmmaker Erwin Wagenhofer looks for the beautiful and the good and shows people who break new ground. Women without school education who build solar systems for villages all over the world. Permaculture visionaries who transform wasteland into new greenery. A forester who develops the healthiest houses in the world. A spiritual leader with mischief and essential messages and his Tibetan sister with a big heart for youth. A young jazz trio, an established pianist… But Beautiful connects them all. Can everything be fine at the end? Yes, everything can be good.
