This film explores the role women play in the farming life of Pinerolo and the surrounding valleys in Piedmont. Today many women are involved in the area’s farming tradition; though this tradition is centuries old, it looks to future economic and ecological developments, seeks to change the dynamics of food production and respects the environment. Eight of these women use their personal experience to look at the role of women in agriculture, the increasingly blurred line between town and countryside, and the local politics and economics that are shaping the area.
