The Modern Life 2008

For ten years, Raymond Depardon has followed the lives of farmer living in the mountain ranges. He allows us to enter their farms with astounding naturalness.

This moving film speaks, with great serenity, of our roots and of the future of the people who work on the land.

Through a series of portraits, Raymond Depardon becomes a witness to farmer's lives, values, and family stories: all that binds them to the land, and its legacy. He questions what will become of these "people of the land".
