Rumantsch is one of the 4 official languages of Switzerland, but it is used at a small town hidden in deep hills and only about 60 thousand people speak it. Some say it is a language that explicitly transfers the meaning of each word because it has a lot of expressions about wind, weather and nature while others say it is the greatest language since it is the language of heart. It has been changed differently at every village like a stream that touches each bending. Nevertheless, there are feelings and emotions aroused only by the language and it is engraved in the human nature and philosophy of speakers of it. Sounds, silence, calmness and sound of snow, which others cannot hear at all are heard and spoken here. This film is like a poem where the fact that area, space, people, language, music, culture and philosophy are all connected to each other is elegantly expressed.
