Intensive farming on the estate inherited by Charles Burrell and Isabella Knepp is becoming increasingly unprofitable. But instead of hiring an economic consultant and seeking an agro-industrial solution, the young couple decides to take the opposite approach.

They tear down fences, leave the land to nature, and release various livestock species. In this way, they transform the former farm into a wonderland with diverse biotopes. A run-of-the-mill farm has become one of the largest rewilding projects in Europe.

The film depicting this transformation has become a box office hit in British cinemas.
