The technical and accounting skills required of farmers these days has proved beyond many of the traditional agricultural workers, who feel increasingly left behind. Director Bergeon, the son of a farmer who committed suicide, returns to his roots in Southwest France to follow the Itards, a family of farmers. The story of the struggling family shows strong parallels with his own life and reflects the crisis engulfing farmers across Europe today.
