Der Bauer bleibst du

Located high in the mountains of Tyrol, in one of the oldest hamlets in the region, the farm at Inzing has been home to the largely self-supporting Wanner family for a good 400 years. With no descendents, 82-year-old Heinz is the last of his lineage to manage the farm. In order to ensure its continuation and his own livelihood, the grumpy old man scours the village for a successor. He chooses 20-year-old Johannes, a recent agricultural college graduate who henceforth accompanies the old hand and learns as he carries out the day-to- day running of the farm using the traditional techniques that have been long since lost from the modern-day training curriculum. Although Heinz could have embarked upon enjoying the autumn of his life long ago, an existence without daily work is utterly inconceivable to him: Once a farmer, always a farmer.
