A film centred upon the translocation of sphagnum moss across a restored peatbog. Layering together expansive landscape vistas, microscopic details and a tactile soundtrack score, the film documents a physical human action performed in peatland restoration: moving gathered balls of sphagnum moss from replete to deplete areas of the bog, enabling a keystone species in peat formation and carbon sequestration to thrive and rejuvenate a vital natural habitat.
Exploring the luminous and vivid characteristics of this rewilded terrain, the film depicts the abundance of sphagnum moss and the dynamic mosaic of species that are now thriving both above and below the surface of the bog, from flowering cotton grasses and carnivorous sundews to dragonflies and silk-moths.
