Times & Winds (ej svensk text)

A small, poor village isolated by high mountains, facing the immense sea and flanked by olive yards. The villagers are simple but diligent people who struggle to cope with life’s harsh nature. They earn their living, a harsh existence, out of the earth and with the few animals they have. Like the animals and trees around them, the villagers have the knowledge of their temporary existence, hence a sober resignation prevails. They live according to the rhythm of the earth, the air & water, the day & night and all the seasons. Each day is divided into five parts by the sound of the call to prayer. Every day, human existence is experienced through these five time periods. Children are raised, by a practice they have experienced from their parents. They expose their love awkwardly and consider beating a favorable method of love. Fathers always prefer one of their sons and Mothers command their daughters ruthlessly. Children study in the small village school. Families show their gratitude to the young woman teacher by giving her presents, the bread they cook and the milk of their own sheep.
