The vortex outside

Claudio, after 17 years of farming,
granted himself the condition of almost complete
food self-sufficiency; his independence from the
market provides him a favoured point of view on
what is happening to our society and the world.

Claudio, a vegan, runs all by himself a traditional farm without the use of machines.
The film tells about the journey of knowledge of lone but not lonely man and shows how a man can live his life richly without the gaudery of modern life, how a path of self-enlightening could proceed slowly as the nature inspires it through daily examples. ​Farming is an act that involves an hard work for his hands but leaves his mind free to think about the meaning of his life.
Claudio, after 17 years of farming, granted himself the condition of almost complete food self-sufficiency; his independence from the market provides him a favoured point of view on what is happening to our society and the world.
Claudio tells us about the themes he considers crucial for society and for his psycho-physical wellnes, such as vegan nutrition, aware alimentation, respect for other people and for nature, degrowth.
His research has its origins in the need to reapproach his real being, to gain awareness of his cultural roots, to challenge the hypocrisy of modern living.
Being radical Claudio pulls the rug from under our feet and gives us the chance to ask ourselves the crucial question of humanity: “Where are we going?”
