AMOOSED: A Moose Odyssey

A totem animal. A guide between worlds. A being that reveals itself only to those who need it most at any given moment. This is how the documentary's director and ethnologist describes the moose - an encounter with this animal becomes a pivotal moment in her life.

Her search for the mystery that has long surrounded moose takes her into Czech forests and to distant corners of Russia and Canada. The stories she gathers during her odyssey gradually piece together an image of a creature that has not yet revealed everything it holds within.

The film about a human encounter with a moose subtly transforms into a universal reflection on how people are gradually losing their connection to nature.
