The Contemplator- A new film by Mattias Klum

The Baltic Sea is probably one of our World's most beautiful but also one of the most vulnerable seas. Filmmaker and director Mattias Klum has along with his team followed life around the sea for four years for this unique film. A girl is born in a coastal town, a sea eagle is hatched and a grey seal pup learns how to swim and dive. The Contemplator celebrates the unparalleled beauty of this fragile sea and is a powerful reminder of what's at stake.

The film is produced in collaboration with The Baltic Sea Media Project and supported by BalticSea2020.

The Contemplator (Betraktaren) will air on Swedish Television SVT 2 on May 20, 2013 at 8.00PM.
