An evocative portrait of a Danish biodynamic farmer and his bid to work in harmony with the universe.
For more than three decades, Niels Stokholm has run a biodynamic farm in Thorshøjgaard, Denmark, creating organic produce in accordance with his belief that humans and nature should coexist in fundamental harmony. Yet while his products are enjoyed by some of the finest restaurants around the world, including Noma and Restaurant Julian, Stokholm is under threat from a bureaucracy that doesn't see eye-to-eye with his sustainable farming methods.
Shot in lyrical widescreen images and scored to beautiful choral sounds from Oscar-nominated composer Jóhann Jóhannsson, director Phie Ambo's film is a richly cinematic meditation on an idealist devoted to the Earth's future.
"In a period when concerns about food and health are paramount, Good Things Await makes arguments for biodynamic principles and practices that are both logically and cinematically compelling." – Variety
