A contemporary short film interpretation of a sequence from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. The film reinvents classic Shakespeare for a contemporary audience but also delivers one of the most pressingly urgent environmental messages of our time: climate change. It uses Shakespearean poetry in the mouths of a modern family to illustrate the most pressing environmental challenge of our time.
