The problem of climate, global warming, climate catastrophes has recently come to one of the first places not only in information programs, but also in political statements and in discussions at economic forums. Questions of "weather" in the most general sense of the word today excite millions of people from ordinary citizens to world leaders. Meanwhile, this topic is rather “young”, talk about the coming climate apocalypse is no more than four decades old. But why has this topic suddenly become so relevant? Where does this general hysteria about the climate, which is growing every year, come from? Is humanity really leading the planet (and itself in the first place) to inevitable death by its activities?

An attempt to create a poetic document in the technique of experimental cinema. In order to outline the contours and determine the composition of the surrounding reality. Deviance in relation to the normative film language leads to the appearance of a dialect. And if a trope in literature is a figure of speech, then observation in cinema is a figure of visualization. Comparison of opposite phenomena in terms of form. Continuous monitoring of the outlines, gradation and contrast of phenomena. Pursuing their meanings and listening to their sound. The creation of a poetic document is like a competition for a new genre by fusing opposing disciplines, film and video. A message caught in a half-position, in motion from one meaning to another. Anticipation of possible meanings in the optics of continuous observation of the surrounding reality. And what if reality is just white noise.
