Western Jutland's shoreline stretches from Skagen in the far north down to the point where the Wadden Sea opens near the Dutch coast. A writer and a photographer follow it for a year, each in their own medium: fifteen essays run alongside a three-part photographic sequence. Together they capture shore, water and the people living there, lyrical and often funny, and open out into thoughts on what it means to live close to wild nature, on remembering, and on where we feel we belong.
