The Wild City

Mark Verkerk Nederland 2017 85 min.

Nature is all around us. Even where you would least expect it, like in the city. Mountain ranges of glass and concrete, industrial savannas, kilometers of sewer pipes. For a large number of wild animals, trees and plants, streets, tunnels, waterways and brick buildings are just as suitable and attractive as a primeval forest or marsh. In addition to the wild house cats, stray gulls and the inevitable rats, the city is also home to many exotic species such as ringed parakeets, American crustaceans, Egyptian geese. The cat Abatutu takes the viewer on a voyage of discovery through the wilderness of Amsterdam.
