Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Andrew Kötting's deliciously eccentric film is a touching portrait of his daughter, Eden, as a young woman in their tumbledown Pyrenean farmhouse. Last seen inGallivant (1996) as a plucky kid touring the coastline of Britain with her big Granny, Eden, now 23, is here shown painting still lifes and singing along to the radio as the seasons ebb and flow around her. Reminiscent of Stan Brakhage's Dog Star Man (1964) this lo-fi marvel features music by Scanner's Robin Rimbaud and a range of voices from Köttings sound archive to explore notions of nostalgia, memory and place.

British film maker and artist Andrew Kötting directs this documentary about his 23-year-old daughter, Eden. The footage follows Eden, who was born with the rare genetic disorder Joubert Syndrome, as she enjoys life in the family's Pyrenean farmhouse undertaking activities such as painting and singing. The film is accompanied by the black and white short 'Hoi-Polloi' (1990), an early movie from Kötting which features his friends and family, including Eden as a baby, while portraying life in the French Pyrenees.
