Best Short Student Documentary Gretel Ribka / Jonas Riedinger Germany, Documentary, 29'42''

If you sit in a tractor all day, you have a lot of time to think. When Jürgen took over the farm from his father, he gave up rearing bulls and set up a contracting business. Agricultural machines now stand where there were animals in the past. Worn down by economic constraints, social expectations and hard blows of fate, the single father carries on working - day in, day out. He says: "Every farming father wants his son to take over one day." But what if the son’s health is in the balance?
