August Pflugfelder / Germany / 2007 / 44 min / Colour
Of three brothers, Peter is the only one to have moved to the valley. He has found a job, a girlfriend – a “normal” life. Renate and Ferdinand, on the other hand, live and work on their parents’ farm, in the Austrian Alps, and have no intention of leaving, even though the farm doesn’t sustain them. Like many other young people from the mountains, they find themselves caught between their desire to carry on the work and traditions of their parents and the difficulties of a life that seems out of time. Ferdinand complains about the lack of young women who accept the idea of sharing his life as a mountain dweller and farmer. The search for a girlfriend becomes, for these young men, a metaphor for the search for a reason to continue doing this work. They spend their nights dizzy from loud music under the big tent and speeding around drunk in their cars. And the next day, disappointed, they put on the typical mountain clothing and go to mass, where prayers are said “that the young people find their way”.
