Anche stanotte le mucche danzeranno sul tetto
Fabiano is haunted by a nightmare that keeps coming back: his cows are walking on the roof of the cheese making facility in his alpine meadow and they don’t stop their party until the dilapidated hut collapses. This dream is a reflection of his life as the heir of his father’s small-scale agricultural business, located in an isolated valley of Southern Switzerland.

Fabiano is haunted by a nightmare that keeps coming back: his cows are walking on the roof of the cheese making facility in his alpine meadow and they don’t stop their party until the dilapidated hut collapses. This dream is a reflection of his life as the heir of his father’s small-scale agricultural business, located in an isolated valley of Southern Switzerland. He owns fifty goats and eight cows and is trying his best to produce the special alp cheese that first made his hippie parents back in the 1970s. But nothing is going the way it should… He is in debt, the alpine hut that he rents for the summer is dilapidated, and the goats cheese business is no longer profitable. His thoughts wander back to a fatal accident occurred the previous year to a Macedonian illegal worker. His death is haunting him, because he feels that he is at least in part responsible for it. Fabiano is not exactly in a good place to start a family, but will be a father soon. His girlfriend Eva is expecting – and is hoping to fulfil her dreams of a simple life surrounded by nature and animals. But how can they build a life together in such difficult circumstances?
The protagonists gave us an exclusive view of their lives and the rugged beauty of the Ticino mountains determined the harsh, at times mystical, atmosphere of the film.
