Synopsis:
The heart of the film is the sundrenched kitchen garden. Towards the street in the west are dense lilac bushes; on the northern side a half-timbered house; a raspberry thicket serves as a border to the southern neighbour and a lush honeysuckle grows on the fence to the parkland in the east. There are out-houses, a chicken run, a bricked in corner for compost and an herb garden. The giant hawthorn lives side by side with the gnarled old apple tree. And then there is a throng of birds at all times of the year the residents, the casuals and the migrants. In a dazzlingly beautiful sequence of shots and meticulously authentic sound Mikael Kristersson explores the greatness of the small objects in his own garden in Falsterbo, an old village in the south of Sweden. We see the real world from the perspective of the great tit, the wasp and the cabbage butterfly, and we human beings as one species among many.
