The Slow Route Home

Miguel has sold his truck and bought a mule. Everyone in the village believes he is crazy, but Miguel follows a wisdom far greater than those that mock him. Seen from the perspective of a new neighbour, Miguel is, on the surface, the idyllic wholesome Andalusian olive farmer. But gradually his simple philosophy concerning speed, relationships and good food slowly emerge as he works though his long week, and those around him cannot but be affected by his directness, his spirit and his vision. Miguel's story is a fable for the modern age. His desire to live the way he thinks the world should be may confound his neighbours, but his simple philosophy and way of life demonstrate that are other paths to take. Taking place amongst the Olive Groves of Andalusia in Spain, Miguel's path comes to symbolise how to live the change you wish to see in the world.
