Nanni, 59, a dairymaid on the Sameralm, lives in the mountains with her husband for five months of the year.

Her winter quarters are in Brannenburg in the Inn Valley.

The film vividly portrays the dairymaid's daily life, a life devoid of idyllic rural life and where the rigid structures of the extended farming family offer little opportunity for a woman's individual development.

The film also reveals how the decline of alpine farming is leading to a gradual loss of a meaningful connection with nature.
