Our world full of life, despite everything, by Netflix.

That movie… 12 monkeys… with Bruce Willis visiting what was left of the world after the catastrophe. The strange integration of wildness and civilization as coexisting worlds in parallel universes.

In 12 monkeys the animals appeared roaming freely through the desolate cities, converted into paradise for species other than humans. Here it does not go to that extreme, but the approach, the mixture, is disconcerting as if temporal planes had overlapped to become aware of the disturbing differences. Between the Earth that could be and what we have finally made of it.

And now stepping on more solid ground, returning to tangible realities..., let's consider the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Where animals also recover uninhabitable spaces with the minimum of security for our civilization. Paradoxes on both sides of life understood very differently from the prism of what is human and for everything else.

Between fiction and reality. That is the idea of ​​this series to show how much of the current changes correspond to what is anthropocentric, and how much is simply the material development of evolutionary theories. An evolution that we can simply admire as adaptation pushes us all, humans and animals.

A difficult coexistence currently. A marriage of convenience where there ends up being abuse, exploitation of resources... And yet that cry of hope turned into audiovisual splendor.

The voice of Cate Blanchett serves as a guide in the original version. Better to leave it like this to enjoy much of the magic of the series. Because it is not always necessary to understand everything. And even without knowing English, ideas are understood by the inflection of the voice, by the pauses and rises in tone. Music, as always, stimulates the approach to concepts bordering on the spiritual. The long-awaited reunion with nature as members of it, not as its inconsiderate exploiters.

The whole documentary, in its strictly serial recording part, is visual virguería without waste. Images stolen from today's world, from a planet that may be languishing or simply taking its time to be reborn. The point is to point to conscience, perhaps not so much to save the Earth, but rather to consider the privilege we had occupying this magical space. Whether it is the work of God or complete coincidence.
