Synopsis
Jean and Claude Fayet produce chestnuts and goats’ cheese in the Cévennes region of France. Every day, with passion and devotion, they dedicate themselves to their land and their animals. Time stands still for a moment when they sort through and meticulously remove the skin of the dry chestnuts. Time to talk about family history, agricultural policies and childhood memories...
