Director's note



The film Dry season explores the transformations of human relationships at the backdrop of climate change. The same questions that humanity addresses in the context of the entire planet are here addressed by a small village community at the level of the place they inhabit. The question of taking responsibility for the environment is interconnected with the theme of taking responsibility for human relationships. The destruction of the landscape can devastate human relationships, and the same holds true in reverse. The landscape becomes another character in the story not only because everything takes place within it, but also due to what happens to it. The state of drought represents an existential vertical that confronts the characters' life attitudes with the fundamental question of existence and non-existence.
