In northern Sweden, in the immense boreal forest, Torn is one of the 7,000 seasonal Thai pickers who come every year to ensure the survival of the local wild berry market. By collecting as much as he can each day, he hopes to return home with enough to live on for a few months. At 77, Pär is a sort of hermit in this forest, which he knows by heart but will soon have to abandon. He sees it transform around his home, and lives one of his last summers of gathering, calm and poetry. Between them, harvesting, the fragile ecosystem that reveals the forest, far from the postcard images that it so often portrays.
