Real Life

Ridge

1 hr. 11 min. | Drama, Documentary | Pegi 13

"There are a lot of rabbits here. They're all black. I heard that there was a man, who bred them. And when he died, they didn't know what to do with all of the rabbits. Now they hunt them, so they don't eat the crops."

Ridge is a story composed of fragments of lives lived in the periphery: Beata, a seasonal worker who comes to Sweden for the first time, Aaron, a young man with a broken heart returning to the place where he grew up, Billie, a girl lost in her first summer vacation. As the film follows their lives, which slowly merge with the landscape, a map is drawn of the confusion between machines, people and animals.
