Leo Barraclough International Features Editor Vienna-based sales agency Autlook has acquired Robin Petré’s timely feature documentary “Only on Earth,” ahead of its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival.

The film is an immersive journey across Southern Galicia, an area of outstanding natural beauty but also one of Europe’s most vulnerable wildfire zones.

The feature documentary will premiere in Berlin’s Generation strand, after receiving the top IEFTA Docs-in-Progress Award in Cannes last year.

During the hottest summer on record, both humans and animals struggle to cope as inextinguishable fires draw closer. Wild horses have roamed the Galician mountains for centuries, playing a crucial role in fire prevention by curbing flammable undergrowth – but their numbers are dwindling as human development clashes with nature. “Only on Earth” reflects on the delicate balance of our natural world and the relationship between humans and animals through the eyes of a young cowboy, a seasoned fire analyst, a devoted equine vet, a farming family on the frontline, and the horses.
