This is a stunning, intimate and unflinching series of love letters within a documentary - firstly, a love between two people, and secondly, between humanity and the Earth.
Ecologist Matty Hannon begins an incredible solo adventure, to surf the west coast of the Americas by motorbike, from the top of Alaska to the tip of Patagonia. But deep in the wilderness - alone with the wolves and the bears - the journeyman’s plans unexpectedly fall to pieces.
After losing everything, and on the cusp of quitting, he meets the girl of his dreams, a permaculture farmer named Heather.
Shot over 16 years, the result is an adventurous, eye-popping world, offering a physical and spiritual odyssey to better understand our place in Nature.
