Nordic Slow Cinema and Nature Meditation

There is nothing that we humans are more ignorant of than the reality that surrounds us most closely. Through beautiful, calm images and a meticulous sound page, Mikael Kristersson shows us the big and small of his own wild and versatile garden with trees, flowers and a lush vegetable garden. The course of life and the seasons are portrayed through the perspective of the many birds and the other animals. Very close up and in beautiful detail. And we humans are in the garden and use it, but only as a species between all the other species.
