- Au fil du temps builds a picture of an Alpine landscape from a variety of temporal and spatial perspectives. In chronological order, ten scenes present time-lapse sequences captured during the same season in three different locations. The soundtrack may be understood as an extension of this environmental scene but stands out of (the visual) time both structurally and representationally. Structurally, the dominant sound layers resonate with the large-scale rhythms of the environment that are glimpsed in the time-compression of the image sequences (the daily heating and cooling of the earth, and the concomitant effect on weather systems); the moment-by-moment surface details of the scenes are traced only in the video channel. Representationally, the cowbells, which were recorded in the mountain pastures in September and, in iconic musical terms, are a feature of such landscapes-think Mahler (Webern) and Strauss, are out of season with the video. The temporal disjunctions between audio and video (both these sensory channels providing mostly different information) and the spatial disjunction in the split-screen scenes showing synchronous images from two geographically separated cameras combine to provide multiple descriptions of a landscape, while denying the customary correspondence between audio and visual domains.

The film unfolds through poignant interviews with his family and in his own words as he sits perched on the cliffs of New Zealand, majestic mountains rising up behind him. Denie talks about his despair and his discovery of a force so powerful that he could not ignore it. He followed a persistent, compelling voice that urged him to jump from security into obscurity and ultimately allowed him to fly. The words of this modern-day prophet gives hope to the lost and offers a road map to those seeking meaning in life and the strength to pursue dreams. Under a pile of debt, feeling worthless, Denie was emotional bereft. No one had taught him how to deal with his feelings or his emotions. No one taught him how to work through his problems or to know his heart. He did not know that it is acceptable for men to be fallible, to be less than perfect. He did not know that it is OK to ask for help or to reach out for love. Instead, he lashed out to everyone around him and lived an angry life. He was depressed and he pushed away the people that loved him most. One day on a trip to nowhere in the mountains of New Zealand, he discovered his gift. He discovered his own inner energy and strength. Suddenly Denie was awakened to his personal possibilities. He was alert. He began to feel happy. He was alive! He knew that he could not go back to the death that was his former life. To make the final step, he had to let go of everything. He sold his farms, paid his debts, left his wife and children, and left New Zealand in search of his true self. He went alone. This is a film that shares his journey to discovery.
