The orchard is a complex battlefield of human history and wild nature
In short: This documentary captures a full year in an orchard, revealing it as more than a peaceful garden. It explores how these man-made spaces have become vital sanctuaries for specialized European wildlife.
Centuries ago, humans established vast orchards to produce sugar, creating environments where human tradition and natural evolution now collide. The film tracks the seasonal shifts of this landscape: from winter hunts by foxes to high-speed aerial combat between kestrels and crows.
During spring, the orchard becomes a hub for pollination and reproduction. This surge in insect life attracts predators from across the continent, illustrating how wildlife adapts to and thrives within spaces where human history remains interlocked with the wild.
