This three-part video work is a cinematic diary that weaves together the filmmaker’s sentiments about homeland with the geology of Hong Kong; an analogy between human nature and greenhouse gardening; and her reflections on the choice of living abroad as she studies the everyday life of migrant farmers and how they adapt to foreign soil.
