A Short Treatise on Walking on the Plains

This film captures the experience of a walker traversing Vattetot-sur-mer, Saint-Firmin-des-Bois, and Carrouge in Switzerland. It draws an imaginary connection between these locations and the family farm of Gustave Roud in the Pays-de-Vaux region. The narrative is inspired by Roud's text, which lends the film its title.

Through its contemplative lens, the documentary emphasizes the subtle changes in nature and the interactions between people and animals. The focus on specific landscapes and Roud's literary influence creates a unique viewing experience that may appeal to collectors interested in art-house and documentary films. The film's exploration of geography and personal connection to the land invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences with nature and place.
