A program about nature, cycles, night and the small wonders hidden by habit.

Surrounded by nature, the program asks how many large and small wonders are hidden by the force of habit.

Birdsong, the seasons, follicles and hormones of the female body, and the change from day to night become stations of the evening.

Baroque arias by Henry Purcell meet contemporary music, folk songs and characteristic arrangements that reveal mysteries of their cultures.
