Filmed in the village of Livinière in the Lozère district, locals talk about their work and lives in a time when the area is threatened with depopulation and the extinction of traditional farming methods. The goal was to record the opinions of these people living in relative isolation, thus affecting the truth about the situation.
biography
In the 1960s, French native Mario Ruspoli (1925-1986) contributed to the transition from the term cinéma vérité to the more accurate, technology-reflecting cinéma direct; in his time, he was one of the most active filmmakers of this movement.
