still from "Endlager / Final Repository"

The future of humanity's precarious legacy is discussed along the lines of location issues in an endless online conference with 126 participants from civil society. All the experts agree: “Geology is more stable, reliable and predictable than political systems and societies”. A peace steamer cruises through the Moselle vineyards, past the NATO nuclear weapons base. The last and the penultimate generations do not meet. A praying mantis transformed into a stereoscopic pre-cyborg looks into a displaced past. On the Lower Rhine, a decommissioned nuclear reactor becomes an all-inclusive amusement park. There is still no final repository for highly radioactive waste in Germany.
But “the safety-relevant information for posterity should be kept for 1 million years on various storage media.”
