Synopsis
Footpaths worn into the earth reveal human behavior in unexpected ways. "Desire Lines" observes these unofficial trails, formed by the repeated footfall of people and animals. The filmmaker reflects on the tendency to take shortcuts and what this means for the future of the planet. As these paths illustrate a preference for the easiest route, the film questions whether humanity is destined to follow the path of least resistance or if a collective effort can forge a new direction.
