In un altro mondo

In Another World

Game warden Dario Favre goes about his daily routine in the silence and open spaces of the Gran Paradiso National Park. Over the course of a year, filmmaker Joseph Peaquin accompanied him on his long nocturnal walks, sighting and rescuing injured animals, contemplating the pristine Alpine landscape. The film goes beyond picture postcard glossiness to portray the story of a man and his dedication to his work, the solitude it imposes, his relationship with his daughter who waits for him to return home. The camera is a detached, quiet observer of how one man comes to terms with sometimes difficult situations.
