Enclosure is a heist story about survival in the seventeenth-century agrarian English landscape, a period of radical economic, environmental and social transformation that left its disenfranchised in a state of uncertainty, susceptible to both fear and theft. Enclosure was the legal process whereby what was previously common land available for common use was consolidated (or enclosed) for private use. The English historian, E.P. Thompson argued that "Enclosure (when all the sophistications are allowed for) was a plane enough case of class robbery.”

Enclosure unfolds against the social and political backdrop of the large-scale privatization of common land that transitioned England from a feudalist to a capitalist society. The Charter of the Forest, a right to the commoners since 1217, guaranteed people free access to the land in perpetuity, but with the influx of cash, the power of the charter dwindled as a new landed class bought and divided the landscape. What had been common converted violently into private property. Forests, people, and animals were burned, displaced and killed.

The film is an imagined story amidst this significant juncture in history, in which contrary perspectives, alchemy and science, magic and rationalism, coexisted.

The story follows The Famlee, a cult-like clan of grifters lead by Jaccko, an alchemist and hustler. They exploit the hope and fear sparked by enclosure, and persuade farmers to sell them their land for next to nothing in exchange for newly created currency. Now, Jaccko has almost enough deeds to attain what he has long been chasing for: a crest. Recent, the key teenage member of The Famlee, is essential to Jaccko as she is tasked with learning the behaviors and livelihoods of their targets, and then closing the deal. It is on the journey to their last predation that the story begins. Set beneath a mysterious dark orb whose inky aura and otherworldly presence hints at a major cosmic event, Enclosure is punctuated by a set of meditative imaginations of how the natural world existed and was perceived then. Such scenes transport the viewer into the early modern world and offer glimpses of a fantastical dimension of a reality that was prescient beyond the everyday.
