Peter Gärdehag has documented the work on a small farm in Småland for decades which he has now compiled into a thoughtful meditative documentary about the type of knowledge that has been passed from generation to generation.
The Fairest Island is in fact named "Grönsö" and located in the Swedish southeast archipelago. It contains a piece of unique Swedish countryside, a meadow still listening to the sea and beautiful flowers in fairytale splendor. In the story we follow Pelle Gräslund in his quest to turn over the meadow care for his children and grandchildren.
A engaging and exotic man–nature documentary that is sure to capture audiences in many countries. Beautifully filmed by Peter Gerdehag and sensitively edited by Tell Johansson. He lives for horses, he lives with horses, he works with horses and he just about dies when he is forced to leave his horses because of a storm that turns his life upside down.
