The Space We Call Home

In the near future, humans aim to set foot on Mars for the first time, reigniting the idea of colonization. But what does it mean to live on Mars – in an environment that could hardly be more hostile to the concept of life?

The film poses this question to people who are shaping the habitats of the future – on Earth and in space. Their reflections lead directly back to us and offer surprising perspectives on the ecological crisis here on Earth.

Moving through space travel, architecture, ecology and the cities of tomorrow, the documentary essay presents a philosophical mosaic about our habitats. What begins as a technological utopia leads to the central question of our time: How do we want to live and build our economies in the future?
