Berlin-based filmmakers Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy invite you to an investigation that resembles a walk. Aurochs is the name given to the wild ancestor of modern cattle. Extinct since the early 17th century, these majestic horned beasts have long held a mythological status, believed to embody supernatural powers. In the early 20th century, German scientists began a series of attempts to resurrect the species under the auspices of the Nazi regime. Such experiments continue today in various forms.

"Meticulously, pictures appear on screen, replaced by short notes and historical facts. The screen then shifts to the artists attempting to recreate something that was long lost. Laconic language, style and precise structure will immerse you into a strange reality, where together with the filmmakers we will try to uncover the idea of Europe." (Mantė Valiūnaitė)
