50 Years in the Life of a Farm...
Haute-Savoie, 1972: the Bertrand farm, a dairy operation with around a hundred cattle, run by three bachelor brothers, is filmed for the first time. In 1997, filmmaker Gilles Perret—then a neighbor—dedicates his first documentary to them as they begin passing the farm on to their nephew Patrick and his wife Hélène.
Now, 25 years later, the filmmaker-neighbor picks up the camera again to follow Hélène as she, in turn, prepares to hand over the farm. Through the words and actions of those who’ve lived and worked there, the film reveals powerful life stories where work and generational transmission take center stage—a moving, intimate, social, and economic portrait of our rural world.
​We look forward to seeing you there!
