Description

Watch the trailer

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world. This “introspective and captivating documentary [is] a rich, unexpected experience,” writes Kate Erbland of IndieWire. Description courtesy of Grasshopper Film.
