To barn leker på en øy, i et åpent kystlandskap. Fantasien deres er bare begrenset av horisonten, som er uendelig. De har et spill de elsker å spille: å søke under steiner, på stranden, i gjørma og på åkeren for å lete etter døde dyr. Når de har samlet nok dyr, tar de dem med til et selvlaget kirkegård.
Two children play on an island, in an open coastal landscape. Their imagination is only limited by the horizon, which is endless. They have a game they love to play: to search under stones, on the beach, in the mud, and in the fields to look for dead animals. Once they collect enough animals, they bring them to a self-made graveyard. Here, the children bury them, decorate graves, sing songs and recite poems. The cadavers are like treasures to the children. They come alive again - they rise in the "Eternal Hunting Grounds". Their thoughts about the animal paradise are magical and real. The hunter also lives on the island; he kills the animals the children find. The children collect them and turn the hunters cruel actions into something good. One day the hunter shoots a heron. This bird is bigger and more beautiful than any other animal they have found. All of a sudden their game change.
