KINGDOM is the story of two families who removed themselves from the modern world to live in harmony with nature. But after a few years of living in an environment that is as hostile as it is wonderful, suspicions and resentments start to flare up. The way the land is divided is suddenly deemed unfair and it appears that fate is against one of the two families. The customs of one and practices of the other jeopardise the already very delicate balance in this new society…

Then one day, a fence is erected between the two families. War is declared.
A few metres from the battlefield, the children watch their disappearing world.

Under the gaze of a film-maker, the tragedy is told…

KINGDOM is an epic fable about the division of land, original sin, a story never written, a return to life in the wild, widgeons, eyes turned to the river, wars between families, helicopters, poachers, fires…
