How is it like to be forced to wait while people are drowning just a few miles away? "No News" gives an insight into the absurdity of European migration policy.

Sara and Marie are in their mid-twenties and have a band with which they play in small bars and on club stages in the region. For some time now, the two friends' hobby has increasingly become their profession. In spring, they travel together to a remote vacation home to record a demo tape. Once there, they realize that there is no electricity in the house to power the electric guitar and piano. In their enforced free time, it soon becomes clear that their individual ideas about the future of the band have been drifting apart for some time and the former dream of joint success is casting an ever greater shadow over their long-standing friendship.

The beauty of the Arctic is breathtaking. For as long as we can remember, the Arctic has been associated with inhospitable cold. But the climate is changing, and with it the northern polar region, which begins beyond latitude 66.5 degrees north. Climate change is now happening four times faster north of the Arctic Circle than on the rest of the planet, making the future outlook dire. At the moment it is still possible for polar bears to raise their cubs, but hunting is becoming increasingly difficult on the drastically shrinking pack ice. The disappearance of the ice also affects the marine fauna. The wintry ice bridge between Canada and Greenland is threatened with collapse. The unstoppable melting of the permafrost, which has held the tundra together for thousands of years, is worrying. But the Arctic is still one of the wildest and loveliest regions on earth. A documentary visit to the Arctic - as long as it still exists.
