SYNOPSIS

HUMUS imagines a primeval forest, away from all civilization, wherein a child, an adult and an old man set out in search of themselves. On their quest they are accompanied by different voices, echoing through the trees… Based on the intimate narratives of childless men and women, HUMUS speaks to us of human condition, and of our view of the world as our only solace to our inescapable solitude. HUMUS is a documentary essay on the theme of childlessness.
