The Wind Blows Round Page #3

Synopsis: The aging, conservative population of a small, sleepy village in the Italian Alps are surprised to see that a former French professor has settled there with his young wife and their three children to produce goat cheese, in order to escape the wrongs of civilization. At first they are suspicious of his unconventional ideas and lifestyle, then are conquered by the enthusiasm, kindness, helpfulness of the young family and start to see in them a possible rebirth of the place. But little by little misunderstandings, envy and conflicts take over.

- That's what you're paid for.

- Go f...!

I'd help you out

with your land and stuff like that.

For a house.

But I want Massimo...

to go back to the pastures.

If your son

wants to come and live here,

you should be helping him out.

But...

I have almost 100 cows

in the field.

I have problems,

I just redid the stalls.

I need help.

I've got debts to pay.

I see.

But if Massimo doesn't give this

a try, he'll never find peace.

And who says kids

have to do what their parents want.

And now

there's arguing with my wife at home.

Massimo was already coming here.

But ever since you came round...

we've had these problems.

At least help me

get him to come home.

I'm asking you

to talk to the French guy.

What about?

I was wanting to have

two or three goats.

Maybe he could sell me one...

This isn't council responsibility.

Go to the Forest Rangers.

They are only in charge

of protected plants.

If someone damages a stone pine,

they fine them.

But this is the second time

my roses have been eaten!

Rose-flavored cheese.

But who's paying me?

My field's covered in goat sh*t!

Free fertilizer.

You wouldn't have this problem

if it were up to me.

- My points?

- I gave them to your husband.

I'll sit here.

I'm the mountain ghost.

I'm going to eat everything!

Grandma's here.

Don't you have

anything to do?

- I need help.

- Just a second.

There's work to be done.

But the mountain ghost

is always here!

Emilie says she heard

yelling in the house down there.

- Stop it!

- What's going on?

A new policeman in town!

It's fine for him to stick his nose

in other people's business.

- The newcomer wants to be boss!

- That bastard!

The soup!

- How's it going?

- There's so much to do.

You're always by yourself.

You have to go the pasture

to see my husband.

It's no hurry,

I just wanted to talk about the goats.

But I can tell you.

You should probably go tell him.

I have to go into town now,

I've got errands.

Come and have some coffee,

I've just made it.

- How's our brother?

- He called.

He says they haven't had

holiday yet

but they're coming

for the Assumption.

To see them

bring the statue back to the church.

Good.

How's it going with the French guy.

He's got a nice family,

nice kids.

- All they do is work.

- Let them!

That way they stay out of the way.

The mayor shouldn't have done that.

He went too far,

letting a goat herder come here.

He went too far!

Hello.

Hi.

You like taking risks.

I've seen dogs

fall off the cliff here.

I came to talk to you.

I saw your goats the other day

grazing on private pastures

and you weren't given permission.

Really?

I find that hard to believe.

I saw it, I'm sure.

You'd better pay more attention

to people's property lines.

AII I see is empty houses

and badly managed fields.

No, people here

take care of their own property.

They let grass rot in their fields.

What's the difference

if I let my goats eat that?

It's a matter of property,

of respect.

You can't take advantage

of people when they're not home.

I'm sure the mayor told you that.

It's for your own good.

Go and teach my goats

what they can and can't eat.

And bring a map of the area

so they can see where to go!

Mark lines on the ground

so the dogs will have to work harder.

Keep an eye on your goats.

If I find one more

in my stalls or in my field,

I'll catch it,

roast it and eat it!

Mom!

Virginie's teacher said

she needs to wash

because she smells like a goat.

It doesn't matter,

schools almost over.

We should have stayed in Bagneres.

These Italians are weird.

Sometimes they're nice,

almost too nice.

You need to be patient.

They're just like us,

like everyone.

You'll see,

once we get a bigger house,

everything will be easier.

And I have no reason

to be jealous here...

Or are you going to dump me

for a local?

What if I fall in love

with the guy in the jump suit?

Really?

- Then I'd better start working out.

- What?

What are you doing?

It's a souvenir from a rueido.

Everyone in town has one.

- So you should too.

- Thanks.

During the war,

the people got together

and hid the hay in the church

so the Germans wouldn't get it.

After the war they got together

again to bring it back home.

Let's decide where to hang it up

and hope the house doesn't collapse.

The municipality can apply

for European funds for the house.

You can fix the stall up

and improve the pastures.

I understand, Costanzo.

It doesn't take much

to make Chris and I happy.

- How long are you staying?

- UntiI tomorrow.

- Let's go and get ready.

- Okay.

I'll take that.

So you're not going out?

- It's not my kind of thing.

- It's Occitanian music!

That's enough, Simon!

Stop it, Emilie!

Stop it, Simon!

Don't you have

anything else to do?

Virginie, clear the table.

Emilie, help your sister.

We're going to make cheese now.

Your mother will be happy

when she gets back.

Go get the cultures.

Simon, get up and do something.

Dad!

Hurry up,

the basement's flooded!

- Come on we're late!

- Don't get flustered.

The old buggers won't die

because of one dance less!

What's that stink?

- Where's all this stuff going?

- Milan.

So you're going back

to your public!

Can we go now?

How much did she pay you

to make you change your mind?

Will you ask Chris

to water my plants sometimes?

Sometimes we do things

that others don't understand

but that make a lot of sense

to us.

Put that toy away and help me.

Can we taste these?

- Good!

- So fresh!

Got any riper ones?

No yet, you'll have to wait.

- How many do you want?

- Two of these.

Delicious.

They really taste of goat.

The French know how to make cheese!

Another piece.

I brought these cakes

for your children

so they'll have something

good to eat.

Here are some clothes

from the Good Will.

You know about

the Occitan situation?

These valleys where they

speak another language?

The success of this initiative

could bring other youngsters,

other families.

We're trying

to develop this area,

put that in the article.

I can't tackle

social or political issues,

it's a food magazine.

- Here's Chris, the cheese maker.

- Wonderful!

Come on, let's take some photos.

We'll take a photo with

the girl and the mother.

Stand up straight and turn round.

With the lady.

Get the goats in too.

Look, here's another one!

You get in shot too.

You stand here...

Fine. You look lovely, ma'am.

We'll shoot you like this.

Excellent!

I've come for the faxes.

I've moved my manure heap,

like the Health Board wanted.

You can tell the mayor.

"PALATO FINE" RESTAURAN "BOCCA D'ORO" RESTAURAN

Faxes arrive here every day.

I've got other things to do,

and paper costs.

What a stink!

What is it?

A dead pig, don't touch it.
