Swiss writer and director Séverine Cornamusaz takes us to a remote and idyllic farm in the Alps where the scenery is as rough and unforgiving as it's breathtaking. A brutish and abusive farmer and his wife perform their daily routines which changes when they are believing to expect a child that makes the farmer hire a Spanish drifter to help out. When the health of the woman deteriorates, the farmer's existence is threatened and comes to realize the importance of his wife. Cornamusaz shows a different side of Europe where the conditions are comparable to the ones in the Third World when it comes to the relationships between men and women. YRCinema's coverage of the San Francisco International Film Festival.
