    Synopsis

    2003 - 2005
    The Gislers, an alpine farming family of Switzerland, live amongst themselves on an isolated spot and relocate four times a year together with their cattle. From early on, their children learn to collaborate and bear responsibility.

    The four children of the Gisler family are young grown-ups. The parents are divorced. The oldest son want to take over the farm. But it may not be economically viable. The documentary is an appreciation of an idyllic childhood and a disenchanted growing-up and it shows how important solidarity can be for a farming family in difficult times.
