“Descent into the Valley” is a portrait of Peeter Lauritsa - a photographer and artist who, as a kind of trickster or shaman, conjures on the border of different worlds and realities, bringing messages from the fields of art, science, mythology, esotericism and ecology and building highways from the level of mosquitoes and earthworms directly into cosmic spheres.

Director Johan Huimerind, who has a background as a photographer, travels with Lauritsa to Kütior, which is both a studio and a strangely displaced mystical world, where time and space do not obey linear logic and where past, present and imagination exist simultaneously. The valley absorbs the viewer into the enchanting greenery of nature and offers a refuge for those who long for the summer warmth and birdsong.

The hunting valley, where Laurits retreated in the mid-1990s, becomes the film's central metaphor: a seemingly small place whose invisible trajectories and wormholes open up new ways of perceiving the world.

The film reveals Laurits through conversations, creative activity, and performative everyday life, where both the low and the high, the festive and the mundane, the sky and the compost heap are simultaneously present.
