It is both a social drama and an intimate portrait, tightly woven. A beautiful portrait of a young farmer who never complains about his 20-hour days, his 4-hour nights, his infinite solitude because he has no one to confide in since the death of his mother, otherwise an old homosexual friend like him.
In front of the camera of Marconi (director of confidential Lagerfeld ), he gives himself up with sensitivity and modesty, and an exemplary dignity in adversity. What is this world where we indebted and starved the peasant who loves his land and his animals, and gives without counting for others?
