SYNOPSIS
Pierre is 25 when he returns from Wyoming to find Claire his fiancée and take over the family farm. Twenty years later, the farm expanded, so did the family. It is the time
of happy days, at least at the beginning ... The debts accumulate and Pierre is exhausted at work. Despite the love of his wife and children, he gradually sinks ...
Built as a family saga and inspired by true events and his own family history, director Bergeon brings us a powerful story of resilience set in dramatic and beautiful
countryside.
Pierre a 25 ans quand il rentre du Wyoming pour retrouver Claire sa fiancée et reprendre la ferme familiale. Vingt ans plus tard, l'exploitation s’est agrandie, la famille aussi. C’est le temps des jours heureux, du moins au début… Les dettes s’accumulent et Pierre s’épuise au travail. Malgré l’amour de sa femme et ses enfants, il sombre peu à peu... Construit comme une saga familiale, et d’après la propre histoire du réalisateur, le film porte un regard humain sur l’évolution du monde agricole de ces 40 dernières années.
