In August 1999, around 4.5 square kilometres of forest or ten per cent of Tyresta National Park and nature reserve burnt down. It was over one and a half weeks before fire fighters brought the fire under control and it was even longer before it was completely extinguished. This film depicts Tyresta National Park 10 years after the fire, nature life is back again in the burnt area, however it will take hundreds of years to be how it used to be in the past. At the same time, fires are a natural part of the change process in primeval forests and far from disastrous in an ecological point of view. Fire creates the conditions for the natural regeneration of the forest.
