In Malin Head, Ireland´s most northerly point, the elements of nature are intensely tangible. Waves are breaking on a rugged coast. Life is ruled by the rhythm of the tides, the wind and the rain. But times are changing. Three men share their personal thoughts of the past and their perspectives on the future. A thoughtful, poetic reflection on the sea and the land.
The new short documentary by Ines Reinisch.

Just a short step into the garden but a yummy leap towards urban food security!
Community gardening can change the people‘s minds and perspectives. It is a delightful way to get in touch with nature, to meet new friends and to harvest the base of life in the centre of the city: food. We follow a group of neighbors in Germany who successfully turn a public and paltry grassed area in front of their homes into a wonderful vegetable garden. As their garden grows, friendships develop and the neighbors learn more than they had ever expected. But the local authorities want to stop them although this new city attraction is a big success. Giving up is not an option and the neighbors face the challenges: urban gardening turns into a social and political activity.
