Those Who Don’t Work Don’t Make Love

Directed by Cristina Grasseni

1998 – 30'

Synopsis

An observational documentary about dairy farmers in the Italian Alps. Caught between pride for tradition and the pressure for modernisation, the story of one family is told through the eyes of teenager Sara, full of hopes and doubts, and of her grandmother, tired and frustrated after a life of hard work.
