English Nature, whether living or non-living, has to contend with an ever-evolving civilization that is noisier, more hectic and more drastic towards the environment. All this is illustrated quite vividly in the story of one rock, over several hundred million years. This rock mass, which is getting smaller and smaller through human intervention, is seeking a rest that it is not getting in the crazy human age. A thoroughly enjoyable and nicely animated short with a concise and clearly delivered message. ()
