Stig-Anders is considered an anomaly by his neighbors and those who know him. With his horses as his main companions, he lives alone on a farm in the southern forests of Sweden, with little connection to the modern world. He romanticizes the past and refuses to give up his old way of life. The horseman falls on hard times when a furious storm hits his beloved forest, causing him to be hospitalized. Away from his farm he has little reason to live, until a friend from the past helps him find his way home. A beautifully shot and intimate portrait study of one mans relationship to the land, and to the past which he refuses to leave behind.
