Over het Wildrooster

Over the Cattle Grid follows Robert, Rinke and Ytzen, who spend their days in the forest between the villages of Odoorn and Exloo. Ytzen and Rinke live deep in the woods; Robert cycles through every day on his way to work. For all three, the world beyond the cattle grid is fundamentally different: stillness, vastness, and a forest where, as Ytzen puts it, “there is no time, there is just being.” The forest keeps changing, day by day. The film also features Wietse de Haan and Evert Prummel, who craft instruments from dead trees. All the music was performed on them and recorded in the forest itself.
