Only on Earth invites us into Galicia’s most vulnerable landscapes during the hottest, driest summer on record, where wildfire isn’t just threat, but a trembling future come alive. In this shifting terrain, humans and animals become co-authors of resilience. We sense the horses as guardians of a fragile balance; also a veterinarian’s tenderness, a firefighter’s exhaustion, a young herder’s troubled glance. The film unfolds less as reportage and more as reflection, a sensual choreography of dust, hoofbeats and heatwaves—held together by the hum of memory, the weight of loss and the flickering hope of repair. Without prescribing answers, it asks us to see how tradition, empathy and attention might persist in a world on fire, and how belonging can be rewritten through care in the cracks.
