Life And Other Problems

When a giraffe named Marius was euthanized at the Copenhagen Zoo in 2014, the news spread across the globe – from Hollywood to Chechnya. Marius’s death becomes a starting point for Danish documentarian Max Kestner to explore questions about the very meaning of life. Appearing on screen himself and posing questions along the way, Kestner engages activists, scientists, and philosophers, weaving together global events and his own story of fatherhood into a compelling, almost detective-like narrative.
