Experiencing Interruptions?

Where a Home Takes Root

The search for a life in contact with nature has led Martim and Annika, a young couple, to build a house with their own hands. On their ever-changing land, there is always work to do. We observe them building a creative workshop and maintaining their vegetable garden. At night, they socialize with their friends in the space.
Amidst the birdsong, Martim and Annika spend their days, seeking a simple life in harmony with their surroundings.
