Sinopsis

Depardon undertakes a ten-year journey to follow the evolution of country life up in the mountains. In this first chapter, he takes us behind the doors of several family farms made up of young farmers, single pensioners and modest couples. A film above all on the art of time, patience and recording the traces humans leave behind.
