The Story
Nestled among the vineyards of Piemonte, four families have been farming this land steeped in tradition for generations. However, rising temperatures, water shortages, and the exodus of the younger generation to the cities are putting pressure on this time-honored winemaking tradition.
Amid this growing uncertainty, a real estate agent arrives with tempting offers to buy the land. But can financial gain outweigh the enormous loss of cultural heritage? Over the course of a year, Low Lies the Land paints an intimate and humorous portrait of the families – at kitchen tables, during harvest feasts, and among the vines. A film about tradition and survival in a changing world.
