Introduced in the 1940s by the Countess of Arran, these marsupials now face possible culling amid ecological controversy. Told in three semi-fictional acts, the film serves as an elegy for Europe's last wallabies while reflecting on humanity's enduring urge to record animals - from prehistoric cave art to early cinema - by linking the extinction of species with the evolution of image-making.
