This Land Echoes
A glass of wine and a story. The portrait of a moment. A short film about nature, wine and rituals.
This short film tells the story of a ancient way of wine making, evoking past generations of wine makers, traditional wine making practices and Napoleon’s army visits for wine tasting. Making fun of modern exhaustive agro-processes and wine artificial flavours.
