Another Life

Alex lives as a hermit on the imposing cliffs of Ireland's Atlantic coast and shares his home with injured animals. After he nurses them to health, he releases them into the wild. Geese, donkeys and especially wild birds find refuge with him until they are strong enough for the harsh outdoors again. But smaller creatures also receive his protection. With a diamond magnifying glass, he observes flies and spiders, and he makes sure that the law of eat or be eaten isn't applicable in his kingdom - his small utopia of radical non-violence. "Another Life is an entertaining and insightful look at a man who has decided to dedicate his life to values other than material hedonism and selfish self-optimization." (ethnocineca.at)
