Eight pastoral vignettes of Thailand's rural north country, where time slows down and the changing seasons dictate the day's chores from dawn to dead of night. While the young leave for Bangkok on their scooters, the old stay on for a more tranquil life in this lovely and constantly changing landscape. Time is taken up with back-breaking rice-paddy work, tending of buffalo, eating meals by hand, playing music and getting plenty of rest.
