Experiencing Interruptions?

Calm Country

This documentary follows the journey of a man who has chosen to live in the countryside, seeking a slower, more peaceful existence away from the chaos of modern life. Guided by a desire for tranquility and fulfillment, he leaves behind the fast-paced world of the city to embrace a simpler, quieter lifestyle. Through his daily routines—whether tending to the land, enjoying nature, or connecting with his inner self—he shows how slowing down can lead to a richer, more rewarding life. The film explores the beauty of rural living, the joy of solitude, and the deep satisfaction that comes from living in harmony with the world around you.
