In this film, Kierkegaardian thought is brought into dialogue with the rural reality of Colombia. A veiled woman dressed in the traditional workers' costume of the Danish island of Fanø evokes scenes from various Colombian regions. With of machetes and music in the background, "The Lilies of the Fields and the Birds of the Sky" is a universe of itself, praising nature; a universe of solitude, silence and reflection. In Kierkegaard's words, "let the heavens fall and the stars change their places in the overturning of everything, let the bird die and the lily wither: this very day your joy in worship, and you in your joy, will nevertheless survive every destruction."
