About this title

Synopsis

The country farmers of the Ausseerland in Austria take a special pride in one of life's most humble tasks: the building of a woodpile. Pieces of wood of varying shapes, colour and sizes are arranged in highly ordered ways to form patterns that are ever surprising and constantly varied, yet peculiar to each individual slacker.
