Le Grand Paysage d'Alexis Droeven
Synopsis
In eastern Belgium, in the Land of Herve, a few miles from the municipality of Voeren, entangled in violent linguistic clashes, the farming world is going through a period of transformation. Either it becomes industrialized or disappears, adapts to EEC standards or become marginalized. That's the historic backdrop. The emotional backdrop is as equally dramatic: a father dies. These tragic events simultaneously have an impact on a young farmer's life. Will he take over the farm or become an exile in the city, invent a new life far from these problems and conflicts, leave behind the great Alexis landscape and death, like his aunt, a lawyer in Liège, advises him to do?
