Wall tells a story about ecological practice, unexpected connections and ambiguous communication. By intertwining the daily work of a permaculture project in the outskirts of Amsterdam with a speculative retelling of an old myth, we learn about how deeply rooted some preconceptions about agriculture and the environment can be, and what might a way out look like. At the western boundary of Amsterdam there is a community supported agriculture project in which the responsibilities, risks and benefits of growing food are shared. This film is the result of ethnographic fieldwork conducted as part of a master research in visual anthropology in the University of Amsterdam.
