Over the course of ten episodes, amateur films from the past, images and modern day accounts combine to evoke the pluralistic memory and complex history of a region. Ultra-modern factories nestled in the hollows of valleys, popular imagery and folklore, memories of roped climbing parties, emigrants and immigrants, jewels of Baroque art, portraits of farmers, memories of the Resistance and even a detour to Nice... It’s through this mosaic of subjects, this human, social, historical and geographical kaleidoscope that we learn about the Savoies of yesterday, today and, why not, tomorrow.
