A mysterious Being in a near future investigates a world devoid of human life and determines to unravel what led to the elimination of almost all lifeforms by using voice recordings they retrieved from the past – interviews made by filmmaker Susanne Brandstätter with prominent international experts and scientists before the elimination events. Each interview discloses new clues indicating what led to the deterioration of the environment, to the biosphere, to crops and finally to the extinction of humankind. Yet though Hungry’s visuals show a possible and grim future, the interviews deliver a positive argument for action: this vicious cycle can be broken before it’s too late.
