Quietly experimental but highly accessible, Pat Collins' beautiful blend of fiction and documentary follows Eoghan, a sound recordist, through luscious western Irish landscapes in his search for spaces untouched by man-made sound.

After working amid the bustle of Berlin, he returns to the far quieter landscapes of his native Connemara, finding himself drawn into a series of encounters and conversations, each bound up with the life and home he’d left behind.

Thought-provoking and witty in its musings on place, history, language and culture, it's that rare thing: a film that makes us open both our eyes, ears and minds.
