PUR FOREVER – CARL JENAL – SWITZERLAND’S OLDEST FARMER

Svizzera / 2012 / 25 min / Colour

Italian premiere

Carl Jenal is the oldest active Swiss farmer. He has spent his entire life with his animals and working in his fields. He can’t imagine a different life from this, and still today continues to work without thinking about rest or retirement. Thoughout the seasons, in the Swiss mountains, Carl Jenal, knows and lives according to the rhythms of Nature and of the animals. In his words are the wit and wisdom of the farmer’s world; in his gestures the calm and patience of a life’s work in contact with the earth; in his eyes the satisfaction of a life well spent.
