Einfach Leben

Synopsis

In the mountains of Val Lavizzara, Ticino, a group of individuals forms a cooperative society aimed at living independently from social and economic systems. They engage in daily farm tasks, such as feeding animals, plowing fields, and chopping wood. As seasons change, tensions arise between younger and older members regarding the use of technology and the balance of work versus results. Director Hans Haldimann presents the challenges of maintaining a self-sufficient lifestyle, revealing the complexities behind their pursuit of simplicity.
