Ben Rivers renewed his relationship with Jake Williams, a man living in a
decrepit house in the Scottish Highlands who had served as the subject
of his earlier short film, This Is My Land (2006), in this
feature-length exploration of solitude and the present's slow crawl into
the future. Situated squarely within what seems to be the perfect
environment for his sensibility and temperament, Jake goes about his
daily routine across the four seasons in the near-complete absence of
any human ties, with Rivers's camera functioning as the lone connection
between him and the world beyond his self-imposed isolation.
