Plot

A young woman leaves the city to return to her hometown in the countryside. Seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, she becomes self-sufficient in a bid to reconnect with nature.

Sinekatalog’s take

A calm, appetizing portrait of a young woman healing herself through growing and cooking food in the countryside. It moves slowly and asks for patience, but its seasonal rhythm and small details are deeply soothing. Ideal for anyone needing a slow, nourishing escape.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
