Herdsman Fabiano will be a father soon. He owns fifty goats and eight cows and is trying his best to produce the alpine cheese with which his hippie parents made a name for themselves in the ’70s, in an isolated valley of Ticino. But nothing is going the way it should. He’s in debt, and feels guilty for a fatal accident which occurred
the previous year, which haunts him. How can he and his girlfriend build a life together under such difficult circumstances?

A 38 anni Fabiano diventerà presto padre. Con 50 capre e 8 mucche cerca di produrre lo stesso formaggio con cui negli anni ’70 i suoi genitori hippy si erano fatti un nome in quella remota valle, a sud delle Alpi. Purtroppo le cose non stanno andando come lui vorrebbe. Ha molti debiti, e i rimorsi per una disgrazia avvenuta l’anno prima nei boschi sottostanti lo tormentano ancora. Riusciranno lui e la sua compagna a costruirsi una vita insieme?
