It begins with a chance encounter between Ro and Ju on a film set. A conventional love film? The characters not only change bodies, identities and desires over seven countries. They struggle with perceptions of themselves and others, fail because of bad scripts, a lack of visas, social expectations or their own demands. The film shows that love is both individual and universal at the same time. It shows diversity in action and not only dispels prejudices about gender relations and sexism in different corners of the world, but also touches on topical issues such as the war in Ukraine. The film is an ode to love and a declaration of love to filmmaking. Film sets, the madness and confusion of film production and the excitement before the premiere are also themes of the film.

In the western town of Adamstown, things can get pretty rough at times, and at times it seems like everyone is against everyone else: people, animals, old, young, locals, and supposed strangers.

BIG EARTH follows on from the story of HOTEL CALIFORNIA, takes up the theme of solidarity and tells how young people come together, dance, make music, fall in love and break up again. It tells of temptation, dreams, power and powerlessness, allows different languages to have their say, different cultures to appear and finally opens the stage for the unique big show, where everyone finds each other again, united under the globe.
