I fratelli Fadaric
The Fadaric brothers
Mirto Storni / Switzerland / 2007 / 60 min / Colour
he small village of Germanionico, deep in the Val Malvaglia, seems to hang miracu- lously from a stretch of land at an altitude of 1500 meters. Approximately 20 houses and stalls - hundreds of years old - were built from local wood and stone. Everyone calls the Scossa brothers - Baggi, Emilio, and Gino - the Fadaric brothers. They live in Germanionico year round, coming down only to visit the doctor, go to city hall, or stop by the sheep market. The film recounts the life of these elderly brothers and their close contact with animals and nature. Theirs is a radical lifestyle, some would say too radical; indeed, the story of two men elicits profound melancholy.
