A Piece of Sky

Director:Michael Koch

Genre:Romantic, Drama

Director: Michael Koch  •  Cast: Michèle Brand, Simon Wisler, Elin Zgraggen, Daniela Barmettler, Josef Aschwanden

Although Marco comes from the lowlands, he's a burly guy. He now works as a farmhand for mountain farmer Alois in a remote Swiss Alpine village, and even at the regulars' table at the local inn, people are slowly learning to appreciate this man who only orders iced tea. Anna is a local village girl who has a daughter, Julia, from a previous relationship. Some question whether this new relationship will work - but not Marco or Anna. They get married. Their love is tender and beautiful. They cannot fully understand it, but they express it in simple words. Trust grows between them and their tenderness persists. The happiness they feel at each touch is only surpassed by the warmth that is felt when they stroke a cow. But it soon becomes clear that Marco is increasingly losing control of his impulses... Humanity and nature are uniquely intertwined in Michael Koch's film. Driven by the congenial normality of a non-professional cast, his work follows the rhythm of the seasons with a calm conviction that is free of hysteria despite the circumstances - even as body and soul are filled with tension.
