Fauna

[VdR '23] Contrast is the main element of this film that develops with a certain air of science-fiction reverie, while it shows the quiet life of Valeriano, a shepherd who lives in a Catalan forest with the facilities of a laboratory in which one of the vaccines against Covid-19 is being developed. There are numerous ideas captured throughout the documentary, which always work in this sense of opposition that serves as the axis of the narrative, and which raise issues such as animal experimentation through a repeated image of goats, sheep or pigs entering the laboratory. The science-fiction tone that the look brings to the laboratory is a skilful visual resource that feeds the narrative.
