A conversation about Sara Lidman's lifelong commitment to the forest and her struggle for sustainability, regarding both people and nature.
Ever since Sara LIdman as a child had "a love story with a fir tree", she was strongly committed to nature and a stubborn defender of its rights. She criticized the modernity in which man's alienation from nature was a prerequisite and insisted that everything in creation belongs together.
