Being connected to nature, what does it mean? Father knows and father shows. The director's father is 84. We follow in his footsteps into the mountain home. Into nature's smallest life and out to grand panoramas, where he grew up.
The film was nominated for IDA Awards and Cinema Eye Awards for Best Cinematography.
"Herman was a drone photographer for Fedrelandet. He had the ability to capture my father in the landscape in a way that placed our time, the brief lifespan of humans, in contrast to the eternal lifespan of nature and the globe. Herman has an eye for composition, which, together with a finely tuned sense of rhythm and movement, was crucial for the visual power of Fedrelandet."
- Margreth Olin.
