Elderly citizens of the remote valley Surselva in Switzerland tell about their lives. Outright, touching and with particular attention to the details. Together their stories generate the image of a generation: A generation which grew up between the World Wars in a time of crisis and unemployment, which underwent the tough religious life before the Second Vatican Council. They are contemporary witnesses of the enormous technical progress and social change which occurred in the 20th century. They knew their home country Switzerland before it became one of the wealthiest countries.
