A series of five long-form documentary portraits from the Romansh-speaking communities of Graubünden (Grischun). Each film follows a single person — a blacksmith, a farmer, a shepherd — through the rhythms of work, season, and place.
The series does not mourn what is passing. It looks at what endures, and at the cost of being the person through whom things endure.
