A small coastal area has been destroyed by the presence of industrial facilities. The film follows the lives of people who are either fighting for their survival among the dangerous facilities or coexisting with them in harmony. Everyday scenes intertwine with different art performances, depicting the adjustment of people and animals to the degraded environment.
The title can be interpreted as the landscape of industrial disaster. It is a reference to ‘ground zero,’ denoting the location of a bomb explosion or the starting point of an epidemic or disaster. It also hints at ‘zero category monuments,’ denoting cultural heritage sites of the highest order, thus alluding to the notion that the natural landscape should be protected in the same way. However, the meaning of the title goes beyond ecology; it could also serve to interpret the anthropological context of the relationship between human beings, nature and culture, industry and activist ecology. All of these themes intertwine throughout the film.
