It's about a man who has some land, a little greenhouse, and tries to sell his stuff to the people. It's his pride, but he sees the society doesn't really appreciate it anymore. They rather have cheap stuff, fast, delivered to their homes. So he tries to understand, but he can't, because he is so full of passion about his job and work. He sees it as a lifestyle. Then he decides that it doesn't matter anymore, because no-one looks after him and his products, but still he's got that great passion for what he likes, so he does it for himself. That's the story behind it.
