Peter Mettler’s diary, filmed over three years, explores the miracles contained in everyday things and occurrences, transforming the personal into visionary cinema. Alternately tragic and comic, poetic and philosophical, it blends memoir, family history, conversations, homage, and love into a generous, meditative reflection on the human condition and our environment.
