A revolution is brewing in the countryside.

Farmers are talking to birds, fraternizing with foxes and badgers, playing host to migrating birds, cohabiting with turtles and bats, welcoming weeds as well as all the unwelcome, unnecessary and supposedly harmful ‘nature’. Across France, hybrid communities are slowly taking shape where farmers, domestic life and wildlife interact and negotiate about each other’s daily needs for the greater benefit of all.

By following the daily routines of tree farms for a whole year, this documentary invites us to discover a little-known aspect of biodiversity, via original and sometimes surprising interactions between wild and domestic animals.

So, what is the message behind these contemporary, funny, moving and optimistic animal fables? The premise for a new society based on a new alliance between man and nature!
