We experience the alpine season of the mountain farmers—with or without cell phones—above the tree line, where it’s not minutes that count, but our relationship with nature.

After “z’Alp,” Thomas Rickenmann returns to the three families he profiled three years ago during the summer cattle drive. In the second part, we stay up in the Alpstein, the Bernese Oberland, and Central Switzerland throughout the summer.

“Alpzyt” may seem like “wellness for the soul.” But when is it time to return home? How long will the grass on the pastures last, and how soon might winter set in? For our three families, survival depends on alpine farming, and the barrenness and harshness up there lend the alpine season beauty and dignity.

As part of the 15th anniversary of the Cinetreff Herisau association, the film—one of the top films of the last 15 years—will be shown as a one-time special screening! With each movie ticket, every visitor receives a free drink and a small bag of popcorn.
