The film starts at Drinkstone Mill where we see the sails of the 17th century windmill turning. A group of visitors make their way to the windmill. We then move to Pakenham, also in Suffolk, where the sails of a different type of windmill, built in the 19th century, also turn. We see some moody shots of the mill and its structure before the film comes to an end.
