Italian title: Il vento fa il suo giro
Occitan title: E l'aura fai son vir

Saw that yesterday, in a small theatre here in Milan. A wonderful movie, about a french shepherd from the Pyrennees trying to settle in the italian Maritime Alps, in the valleys above Cuneo, where occitan is still spoken.
Spoken in italian, french and occitan (with subtitles). Wonderful story, beautiful scenery, life-like characters. If you can get hold of a copy do watch it.

Sounds a bit like L'Albero degli zoccoli - Tree of Wooden Clogs which I saw recently and enjoyed. Or am I wrong?

Hey, that's one of my favourite films - I've got it on DVD.
