One topic constantly and repeatedly came to the fore - sometimes it almost sounded like a competition: who is louder, the sparrow or the ‚metal bird‘? Based on sound recordings full of aircraft sound emissions, a documentary-essayistic short film emerged on the question of an acoustic untouchedness, on the interplay of ‚civilized‘ and ‚natural‘ sounds and on the acoustic space that people occupy in the mountains, on the alpine pastures, in the forests.
