The Tree of Wooden Clogs 1978 Directed by Ermanno Olmi L'albero degli zoccoli
When the family of man was still—a family.
On a northern Italian farm, Batistì and his wife decide to send their son Minec to school, sacrificing his help in the fields but hoping to break the cycle of poverty in the family. But when Minec’s shoe breaks while walking for miles, Batisti puts the family’s future at risk to replace the clog.
