Original title: Leva inom planetgränserna, Ett jordat liv.

The film is based on interviews with author and journalist David Jonstad and agronomist and research leader Johanna Björklund, who guides us away from the utopia of eco-modernism: that with new technology we could live on as today, but in a sustainable way. Together they explain how we can "democratize survival" through sharing the land more equally, with a relocalization to the country side and with a food production system based on Agroforestry, and how that could put us in a position where we actively improve and restore the ecosystem's health, build resilience to extreme weather and deal with declining natural resources.

Oljeepokens slut är en påminnelse om att det inte är vi människor som sätter gränserna. Naturen gör det åt oss. Utan att vi märker det, upptagna som vi är, med att komma överens om hur långt vi kan sträcka oss, för klimatets skull. Hur kan vi anpassa oss? Istället för att hålla krampaktigt kvar vid det som har varit?
