Film International: The Tree of Wooden Clogs

on BBC Two England

starring Luigi Ornaghi, Francesca Moriggi.
Four families live round an ancient farm courtyard, surrounded by the golden Lombardy landscape. Taking their rhythm from the seasons, their lives are closely intertwined: the drama of a sick cow touches everyone. In this paradise the political unrest of the cities is unknown - but the price of staying there is high.
Ermanno Olmi's much-acclaimed, award-winning film contains many incidents remembered from his own childhood in a framework of harmony and tranquillity.
