Waning Lifestyle

Directed by Øyvind Sandberg

Free and airy, high above the Norwegian westland fjords, small, sunny, fertile farms cling to steep mountain sides. These small farms are still run according to traditional methods, with horses and self-made tools. In close interaction with nature and the cycles of the seasons, the small farmers look after the land, animals, crafts and cooking. Thrift, perseverance and calm characterize this latest generation of farmers on the steeply sloping small farms.
