About this listen

Ants live in communities, where everyone helps out.

Everyone has a task for the community …
Everyone is needed.
No one has to know everything.

One morning, Emelie can't get out of bed. Her therapist calls it burnout. Her neighbour calls it the tiny work death. She needs to get away from the brightness of the city lights, the noise of the people, the constant demands, so she goes to the woods, pitches her tent overlooking the lake, breathes. And that's where she sees them, the Colony:

A man with a sad face.
A tall, strong, older woman.
A woman in her forties, squatting to examine an ant hill.
Another woman in her forties, short, long hair, ample bosom, good posture ? the leader?
An extremely beautiful man.
A slightly younger man, in a Helly Hansen jacket and trucker hat.
And a teenage boy, standing a little way from the group.

Who are they? What do they mean to each other? And why do they behave in such strange ways: thanking the fish they eat, sleeping under a tree, singing off key, dancing without music, never letting the boy fully in?

As Emelie becomes more and more drawn to the Colony, she begins to re-evaluate her own lifestyle. Wouldn't it be nice to live as these seven do? Apart from society and its expectations. But groups always have their dynamics and roles. Which are you? And what if you want to change?
