SYNOPSIS
Styrbjörn Ejneby and his wife Solveig runs a farm in
the middle of the breathtaking landscape of Småland, Sweden.
Styrbjörn conducts his life after some basic but very firm ideals.
One of them
is that we shouldn´t leave the earth in a worse condition than
when we inherited
it. This is why he uses horse and carriage and no chemicals or toxins
on his
farm. Suddenly Styrbjörns life takes a unexpected turn, and
he is suddenly
faced with the biggest challenge of his life.

These
are some responses we got after the
film, ”The Farmers time on earth”, screened on Swedish TV
<>”We will
just say thank you. A touching and important film. Everybody should see
it and
think about their priorities in life. More wisdom than what
Styrbjörn mediates
is hard to fit into one hour.”
/Jan & Helen Sylvan
<>”It almost
feels small to even write this but the film as whole gave me an
incredible
experience”. The images, the subject, the portrait – wonderful and a
whole
bunch of other superlatives”.

”Just have to say that ”The Farmers time on earth” is one of the best
documentaries
I have seen on TV. It touched me in the same way as when I first saw
Stefan
Jarls film “Naturens hämnd”.
/Anders Bergström
