1. Emergency
During a period of lockdown, a woman in northern England revisits the village of her childhood, assembling fragmentary memories of people, animals, and work that reveal the hidden networks connecting a seemingly isolated rural place to global systems. Stories of farms, factories, military installations, disease, and weather merge with intimate recollections to show how human and nonhuman lives are entangled. The result is a quiet, prismatic meditation on ecology, labor, and care, where local emergencies echo planetary crises.
