One Man's Land

28 min | documentary | DE 2017

 

In search of silence and reflection, 23 year old Kilian finds himself by chance living in a container in the Northern Sea. Here he spends his days as a bird warden, keeping stock of 30,000 migratory birds. Alone and many miles from the mainland, he documents the everyday challenges of his hermit existence in a cinematic diary. As he sharpens his senses to live in the present, he discovers a lightness of living and a longing to take this with him into adulthood.
