Sheds to hide, to perch, to sleep in the middle of the forest, sheds on the shore or on the tree-tops, filled with inventions and devices that could find their place in the Smithsonian Institute. Log cabins, bobhouse, Scaffolding of woods, palombières hidden in the huge pine forest, look-out sheds to hunt the lapwing, sheds on the banks of the Garonne, broad as a yellow Asian river, where one comes to fish, to have a drink with friends or to savour Bordeaux-style lamprey or duck rillettes from Lormont. Dear sheds, memories of a lifetime where every plank could tell a story of its own.
This documentary presents intertwined portraits of owners of such sheds. We discover them in all seasons. There is a time for building and repairing, a time for hunting and fishing. The film shows a world made of a blend of tinkering and perfect craft, of technique and emotion, of contemplation and high activity, of personal secrets and shared friendships, of the intimate presence of Nature outside and of the warmth of the inside.
