synopsis

A rural countryside without people stretches out into patterns of nature that overlap with the detailed tracing of the contours of herbs and trees. This rural peace is disturbed by the nervous camera and the layered traces of clumps of grass, branches, and bushes.

The blades of grass leave behind their contours, which are sketched into a fleeting image of a meadow with low grass and, here and there, the shadows of trees.
