Birches and swallows, cows and calves grazing… The farmers open landscape is honoured while the work on small farms is seen as primitive and old fashioned. Svea and Gustav are the last farmers in a small village in the north of Sweden. What is he thinking, the old farmer, when he sees his fields overgrown ? And what will happen to his cows ? On television they promise modern and better times to come… but out there the forest is taking back meadows and houses. A melancholic film of a culture and a landscape that soon will be gone.
