Niels Stokholm is an agricultural visionary: the Danish farm he runs with his wife Rita serves as one of Europe’s finest test cases of “biodynamics,” a radical approach to food production with its own cosmic philosophy and defiantly low-tech methods. While his farm supplies some of the highest-rated restaurants on earth, he also has enemies, bureaucrats who claim he violates health codes, threatening unsustainable fees. Good Things Await translates Stokholm’s vision into an audiovisual feast that holistically captures the life of the farm, from pulsating earthworms to majestic Danish Red cattle, with a mesmerizing vocal score by the acclaimed Theatre of Voices.

 

Directed by Phie Ambo and produced by Malene Flindt Pedersen.
