Will vs. Wilderness

About This Movie

Will vs. Wilderness is this intriguing documentary that dives into the solitary life of Elke Kruse, an elderly woman who's seen a lot—born in '35 during the Nazi regime, she has stories etched into her very being. The film captures her quiet existence on a quaint farm in North Frisia, where she tends to her lush garden. But there's this persistent mole ruining her idyllic setup, and it's a fascinating metaphor for life’s little disturbances. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing for moments of quiet contemplation. You really feel the weight of her history and the charm of the rural setting. The cinematography does justice to both her home and the emotional layers of her experiences. It's not just a story of a woman and her garden; it’s about resilience amidst nature's unpredictability.
