Carismaticul compozitor Warren Ellis ne invită în universul său, unde administrează un adăpost pentru animale pe cale de dispariție în Sumatra, în timp ce inventează sunete noi cu ajutorul viorii și sintetizatorului său.
Warren Ellis este un multi-instrumentist și compozitor australian, membru important al formațiilor Dirty Three, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds și Grinderman, un artist neconvențional cu o carieră de peste trei decenii. Ellis cântă la vioară, pian, acordeon, bouzouki, chitară, flaut, mandolină, mandocello și violă și a compus numeroase coloane sonore de film împreună cu prietenul său apropiat și colegul de trupă, Nick Cave.
Departe de sălile de concerte, se află un proiect de suflet complet diferit: un sanctuar pentru animale sălbatice în pădurile din Sumatra. Cofondat de Ellis și condus de inimoasa Femke den Haas, adăpostul este întreținut de o echipă devotată de activiști de mediu care salvează animale traficate și maltratate, pentru a le reda sănătatea.
„Ellis Park moves to a strange and interesting melody. This film will stay with you.” - The Guardian

Charismatic composer Warren Ellis invites us into his personal universe where he runs a shelter for endangered animals in Sumatra when he is inventing new sounds with his violin and synthesizer.
A key member of iconic bands The Dirty Three and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, multi instrumentalist Ellis has cut a brilliant and unorthodox figure in music for over three decades. Far from the international concert halls in which he has plied his craft lies a very different passion project: a wildlife sanctuary in the forests of Sumatra. Co-founded by Ellis and spearheaded by the indomitable Femke den Haas, whose dedicated team of conservationists rescues trafficked and mistreated animals and then devotes years to nursing them back to health.
This fly-on-the-wall documentary offers both a deeply personal insight into one artist’s life through the act of creating and an inspiring reminder of how much can be achieved when working together.
