For 37 years, Karin and Lennart record weather every three hours—the last manual station and a quiet love story.

Every third hour, day and night, every day of the year, Karin and Lennart go outside to record the weather. For more than 37 years, the couple have worked side by side at the now last manually operated weather station. Their unique perspective on a changing environment, captured by their own daughter, invites us to an unusual love story where life follows the rhythms of nature. For anyone who finds beauty in small rituals and who loves the meeting of human devotion and the wild world.
