action
Pipe, the farmhand, buys a moped with his first couple of old-age pensions , learns to drive and forgets about work discipline. His little escapes lead him further and further, most recently to a motocross race, where he loses himself in a single happy but lonely frenzy. He is no longer allowed to use his moped because of driving while drunk. He destroys it, but brings out a Motocross winner's prize: an instant camera . With her he now “experiences” his innermost circle of life: the grumpy farmer John, his sick wife, the impatient son Alain and his devoted fiancée, the daughter Josiane with her child and the Italian seasonal worker Luigi. Pipe has one dream: a helicopter flight around the Matterhorn. He breaks it off prematurely in order to continue his “ethnographic” and social work on the farm. Now, directly or indirectly triggered by Pipe, things are happening that have been in the air for a long time: John puts responsibility in the hands of his son, Luigi has to go and Josiane moves back into town.
