A young woman has a deep connection with nature and uses her talent for taxidermy to ‘return’ animals to their natural habitat. However, the true search for answers begins when she starts finding a roll of undeveloped film in each of the animals she treats.

Special mention for the inventive reflection of the human-nature relationship in "Udahnut zivot | Imbued Life" Ivana Bosnjak and Thomas Johnson: With elaborate details of characters, animals and environment, the filmmakers invite us to reflect on the memory of animals as well as on the capacity of film to capture our experiences. The undeveloped films in the bodies of the animals and of the main character seem like a promise for a future where humans and animals connect on a deeper level, truly becoming companion species.
