Grischun: Engiadina
A body of work consisting of five non-fiction 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.
Across the series, questions of inheritance emerge in different forms: who remains, who leaves, what is carried forward, and what is transformed.
I — Il Fö
- Location:
- Val Fex
- Subject:
- Roger Rominger — father, knifemaker, blacksmith and farmer.
- Logline:
- In the remote Val Fex, blacksmith Roger Rominger forges knives and tends the land as his ancestors did. Each winter he clears snow from the holiday chalets that have replaced the valley's farmhouses—homes that stand empty most of the year. When Chalandamarz arrives, the ancient festival that drives winter from the valley, his children carry the bells he once carried himself.
