This documentary film tells the story of mountain farmers from the beginning to the end of the last century. What were the farmers’ living conditions like in the Alpine pastures? How did they manage to feed themselves and obtain water? How did they cope with the harsh winters of yesteryear to produce alpine cheeses? What trades did they have, and often combine, to survive? How did they cope with the arrival of mass tourism? And what legacy did they leave to our generation? A landmark documentary on life on the mountain pastures, past and present, with archive footage and testimonials from today's young farmers.
