1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:01,566
For us, 
it was important for people

2
00:00:01,966 --> 00:00:04,566
to understand that this film 
was about a contradiction.

3
00:00:05,166 --> 00:00:08,166
A contradiction between

4
00:00:08,166 --> 00:00:10,566
how do we want 
to relate to animals

5
00:00:10,566 --> 00:00:12,566
and how do we relate to animals.

6
00:00:12,566 --> 00:00:16,500
The fact that medicine today 
sacrifices animals

7
00:00:16,500 --> 00:00:17,933
to save humans.

8
00:00:17,933 --> 00:00:18,500
On one hand,

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,833
we have a laboratory 
that is like a science fiction

10
00:00:21,833 --> 00:00:25,466
scenario, with scientists

11
00:00:25,666 --> 00:00:30,000
dressed as astronauts 
working with lethal viruses.

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,400
And on the other side 
of the window,

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,600
but literally on the other 
side of the window, you have a

14
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:39,500
shepherd with his herd 
doing a job that it is believed

15
00:00:39,500 --> 00:00:42,300
that started 10,000 years ago.

16
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:45,466
We also understood that our film 
was something that

17
00:00:45,466 --> 00:00:47,066
didn't 
have to take a point of view,

18
00:00:47,066 --> 00:00:51,133
because we, I mean, me 
as the director, but also the

19
00:00:51,133 --> 00:00:54,300
co-writers, had a contradictory 
feeling about this.

20
00:00:54,633 --> 00:00:57,566
We don't want animals to be 
sacrificed, but we understand

21
00:00:57,566 --> 00:01:00,966
that science needs this 
to advance medicine.

22
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:05,033
So it's not an easy answer 
to say, “Okay, I am against.

23
00:01:05,033 --> 00:01:06,000
I am for it.”

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,133
We as

25
00:01:08,233 --> 00:01:11,533
urban people want to have a,

26
00:01:11,533 --> 00:01:13,166
we are building 
an idea of nature

27
00:01:13,166 --> 00:01:14,633
as a place with no conflict.

28
00:01:14,633 --> 00:01:17,700
We want nature to be beautiful

29
00:01:18,033 --> 00:01:21,133
and to be peaceful.

30
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,500
And nature is not this.

31
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:28,300
And I think it's something 
that we have to deal with

32
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:31,700
because the more we idealize 
nature,

33
00:01:31,700 --> 00:01:35,033
the more we widen 
the gap between us and nature.
