Chokoladetips, Paris' perfekte pralinéer og en overraskende hundehistorie: En Verden af Kontraster

Alaska - Fnat - Fossile brændstoffer - Hundehistorie - Klimaaktivisme - Olieselskaber - Paris - Pralinéer - Voldelig adfærd

Fra Paris' luksushoteller til skovbrande i Alaska - en tur gennem forskellige verdener!

Der findes få ting mere fornøjeligt end at udforske Paris' perfekte pralinéer og lade sig forføre af byens charme. Paris er dog også kendt for sine overpromiserende hoteller, der skuffer mere end de imponerer. En anden kontrastfyldt historie handler om en hund ved navn Ralph, som overlevede imod alle odds og blev en uundværlig ledsager. I mellemtiden rapporterer læger om en 'mareridtsagtig' stigning i fnat-tilfælde på tværs af Storbritannien, en smitsom tilstand forårsaget af mider. Tilbage i Paris konfronterer en ung klimaaktivist, Nathan Baring, USA med en retssag, der kritiserer landet for at ignorere konsekvenserne af fossile brændstoffer. Mens verdens store olieselskaber belønner deres aktionærer med rekordudbetalinger på trods af offentlig vrede, nægter en mor at erkende sin tidligere voldelige adfærd over for sit barn. En diversificeret og overraskende rejse gennem en verden af kontraster.
