An audiovisual story, an insight into the world of nature, society, and the order of everything around us. Three elements are connected here: the soundtrack consisting of twelve violoncellos, the commentary of four narrators, and the video sequences. Those portray the microscopic nature as well as mankind, their origin, development, community, and, conversely, solitary existence. The detailed look at the world is shown in different aspects, be it chemical reactions, sociological and physical principles, or mathematical symbols and formulas. From beginning to end, these systems are connected and influence each other. The film proves the author’s lifelong fascination and desire to know his environment, its mysteries, and laws.

English Structures of Nature is an experimental documentary with all the trimmings. Martin Gerigk's film offers a huge number of visual scenes across various scientific disciplines, all accompanied by sound sensations and the voice of several narrators, whose voices sometimes seem almost hallucinatory. On the surface, this is an ambitious film, but I found it too overwrought, disjointed, and challenging to watch. ()
