Synopsis
"When the soil is loose, level it, and since there are seeds, plant them."

The agricultural system, which has changed according to productivity and efficiency, has even turned back time for farmers and seeds quickly. However, the film tells the story of native seeds that farmers have preserved for a long time, not commercialized seeds sold by seed companies. The camera follows the work of two farmers, Yoon Gyoo-sang and Jang Gwi-deok, who have received and planted their own seeds for decades, and looks at the long time that overlaps in a year. It captures the value of slow but sincere, arduous but affectionate labor, and the efforts of people who try to find the special seeds they have preserved and start the cycle again.
