Le Creux, 1599m

Late at night: it‘s already dark, the ambience is rustic:
dim light and walls made of wood. You don‘t know
where you are, but you already guess: somewhere in
nature.

Martin, Krölle and Robi sit at the table and talk about
the tough moments of getting the cows in the barn
to get up.

„The problem is that it‘s five in the morning.“

The next morning, it‘s still dark. Martin, you can
see his tiredness, stands at a large copper pot in the
kitchen and scoops out something that looks like milk,
next door Krölle clears out the cow shed from last
night’s droppings. The drain is clogged. While the
manure is still draining, Martin prepares the milking
machines.

The darkness gives way, day breaks. With the break
of dawn, it becomes obvious where we are.
The film tells about everyday life on the Swiss Alp
Cottage „Le Creux“, located at an altitude of 1599m.
Point blank and straight away you are confronted with
a work reality that is completely unknown to many,
even though the result of this work is appreciated, as
much as it is loved, by many: Cheese!
