Fabiano is haunted by nightmares, a reflection of his life as the heir of his father’s small-scale agricultural business in an isolated valley of southern Switzerland. He owns fifty goats and eight cows and is trying his best to produce the Alpine cheese his hippie parents first made back in the 1980s. But nothing is going the way it should. Fabiano is in debt, the hut that he rents for the summer is dilapidated, and the goat cheese business is no longer profitable. His thoughts keep returning to a fatal accident a Macedonian illegal worker met with the previous year, whch he feels that he is at least in part responsible for. Fabiano is not exactly in a good place to start a family, but his girlfriend Eva is expecting, and hoping to fulfill her dreams of a simple life surrounded by nature and animals. How can they build a life together in such difficult circumstances?
