The Paris Agreement is a milestone in history influencing the next decades. For the first time 195 nations committed to take action against climate change.

The film gives insight behind closed doors of the negotiations and reveals the clash of forces, which shape our future: national self-interest against destruction of whole countries, rich versus poor, victims against profiteers.

A reflection of the global community told by high-ranking figures and leaks of the process. Can this agreement save our planet?
