Director: Benedikt Kuby
Duration: 104 mins
Language: German with English subtitles
Rating: exempt
A young man returns to an ancient way of life in this contemplative documentary about a family farm high in the mountains of Austria. The Werners have been working the land for over four centuries. The last of their line is Heinz who has been running the farm single-handedly for most of his adult life. Now in his eighties, he is on the lookout for a successor and settles on Hannes Gustl. The twenty-two-year-old learns how to forge a scythe, reap the grain and mill his own flour, becoming heir to the farm and to knowledge that has passed down through generations.
