The slow and subtle repeated rhythms of daily life provide the material for this 12 part film. The pace is slow with the intention of inviting viewers into a more visceral and less verbally analytical state of mind. The “action,” small events like the mail arriving, the storm coming, and the grass getting mowed, are secondary to the way of perceiving those events. (Leighton Pierce)
