At the time Tommasino Andreatta, originally from Trento, was teaching in Celentino. Andreatta involved his young pupils in un ambitious project: to carry out an environmental study and write the screenplay for a documentary intended to illustrate a typical day in a mountain village. The children set to work with their teacher and created a film which is unique in terms of the quality and poetry of the images, a precious portrait of a valley in Trentino which had just been reached by modernity, but which still lived according to the natural rhythms of peasant life.
