A striking and poignant portrayal of time passing in a beautiful Sussex walled garden. Using real-time and timelapse footage, the fi lm explores the relationship between the seasons and the plants and people who work within the walls of the garden. Locked into the clock of the solar system, the garden performs its annual display, guided by the ritualistic human intervention of
those passionately engaged with its soil. The fi lm takes the form of a contemplative visual poem with a stunning soundtrack by Wendy Rae Fowler.
