Underland (12A)

— ,Cinemas
Light from above shines down into a large underground cave, in which a person stands on a mound of earth.

Based on Robert Macfarlane's bestseller, embark on a cinematic voyage beneath the surface of the earth.

Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, ‘astronauts of the underworld’ travel into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe. 

Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of A Fall), and with a uniquely poetic approach, Underland is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a alternative vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.
