South of the Clouds

Overview

70-year-old mountain farmer Adrien from Valais suggests a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway to his friends. The taciturn mountain folk get on the train, but they never really let go. Nothing works without Jass cards and white wine. Only Adrien makes it as far as Beijing: For the stubborn farmer, the long journey ultimately becomes a journey to himself, to his own feelings.
