Beneath the picturesque surface of South Tyrol lies a world often misunderstood—a world where farmers are unfairly viewed as backward and insular. However, this film uncovers the genuine life of a young farmer, revealing his challenges and his unique world. Here, tradition isn’t seen as outdated but as a conscious way of living. Through Tobias’s perspective, we discover that progress and tradition can coexist. The film captures the raw, authentic moments of rural life, where evenings are spent scraping dirt from under your fingernails instead of going out to clubs. It shatters stereotypes, offering a respite from the fast-paced world and inviting viewers to delve deeper into a life often overlooked.
