Homo Sive Natura (2026)

Deep in the remote forests of eastern Cambodia, a community of Indigenous people lives in harmony with the land. An unnamed forty-year-old businessman arrives, cloaked in seemingly noble intentions: he claims to be a simple traveler, eager to learn the ways of his “brothers.” But behind his peaceful facade, he’s quietly gathering intelligence to pave the way for their land’s seizure. Renowned Italian filmmaker Giovanni C. Lorusso blurs the line between fiction and documentary with his signature style. Through breathtaking locations, hypnotic cinematography, and immersive soundscapes, he traces the quiet inner evolution of his protagonist—while illuminating the rich spiritual and cultural world of a people confronting a modern colonial threat.
