What does connecting with nature mean to you? At the end of words ("Lost for Words") takes us across the UK, describing the landscapes and communities that live there. The story begins in 2007 with the disappearance of nature-related words from the Oxford Junior dictionary. These missing words, such as "acorn", "otter", "hyacinth" and "dandelion", serve as a guide throughout the film. The film takes us on an adventure through the seasons, from the remotest corners of the country to museum archives and scientific laboratories. Children, elders, scientists, artists and activists speak out, sharing their knowledge and emotional connection with nature. Their voices prompt us to reflect on our own relationship with the natural world around us. This film explores the fundamental issues of our common future: imagining the future of our planet and rethinking it collectively.
