At the heart of modern Europe lies a silent paradox: while we celebrate sustainability, we destroy more than half of our wool—one of our most ecological materials. Through 14 interviews in 11 countries and following two shepherds over the course of a year, the film reveals a fragile knowledge interwoven into the landscapes and everyday gestures. Wool is not disappearing due to a lack of quality, but rather under the pressure of synthetic fibers, a byproduct of the oil industry, which releases microplastics into our world and our bodies. What is at stake goes beyond the material: a living connection between the land, biodiversity, and traditions that shape a sustainable future.

In the vast expanse of desert East of Atlas Mountains in Morocco, seasonal rain and snow once supported livestock, but now the drought seems to never end.

Following both the students and the teachers in the Oulad Boukais Tribe's community school for over three years, SCHOOL OF HOPE shows students Mohamed, Miloud, Fatima, and their classmates, responding with childish glee to the school's altruistic young teacher, Mohamed. Each child faces individual obstacles - supporting their aging parents; avoiding restrictions from relatives based on traditional gender roles - while their young teacher makes do in a house with no electricity or water.
