Using modest filmmaking equipment, director Rebekka Nystabakk follows her sister Rakel and her wife Ida as they leave the city to take over the family sheep farm, becoming the fourth generation of farmers. Woolly is an elegantly told, feel-good festival film with lively, self-reflective humor, and an intimate portrait of intergenerational change. A reality check for romanticized urban notions of self-sufficiency and rural life gradually transforms, in the rhythm of manual labor, into the building of a new, authentic, and deeply personal idyll.
