A rare intimate glimpse into remote rural life of a spirited hermit. After 40 years of solitude, the elderly Ken Smith opens his life to a young female director as he tackles ill health, a declining memory, and questions whether he can live out his last years in the wilderness he calls home.
Lizzie Mackenzie is a young Scottish director, who loves equitation and nature in general. She sought out Ken 8 years ago after hearing an 'urban myth' about him during conversation between deer stalkers at her remote Highland restaurant.
