For the first time, Vreni leases a cow to someone from the city outside of her once-thriving farming village of Guttannen, Switzerland. This documentary explores how the alpine community has adapted to economic changes, focusing on the impact of the hydropower industry on the village’s 500-year-old communal farming system. The ethnographic journey brings to light the transformation of the Alpine farming system over the past hundred years.
