Step by Step (2023)

A testament to the immense complexity of nature and family, STEP BY STEP follows two dreamers - one of them pregnant - and a dog on an odyssey to bring harmony to their lives and the land surrounding them. The pregnancy of Valentina leads to a lot of unanswered questions for the two so they decide to leave to hectic life in Berlin and move to the countryside. Stepping out of the hamster wheel of modern urbanization means mainly being sustainable and maybe even off-grid for them... so growing their own food was a dream they pursued. The land they've chosen, however, is utterly depleted of nutrients and suffering from multiple droughts. The film chronicles over one year of daunting work and trial and error attempts to create the utopia they seek.
