The Fields

On a remote Hebridean island, a young boy grows up on his family's croft. His father mends watches while his mother works as a cleaner at a grand holiday house, a manor filled with hidden treasures and dark secrets that will echo across the boy's lifetime. His story is one layer of a symphonic journey through the deep reaches of time. From an English family observing a rare comet in 1955 to a woman standing in an Arctic seed vault as climate chaos rages, the lives of three generations are bound by a sublime truth: we do not merely inhabit our landscapes and histories, we are made and unmade by them.
