A documentary testimony of the arduous return to the property of the fathers, to the soil and to property management. The film was made in three localities between the winter of 1993 and autumn 1994. The stimulus for its making was rooted in the endeavour to create a visual sketch of the revolutionary, formidable and unpredictable changes brought about by restituo in integrum - bringing something back to its original state - in its legal and actual form. It also attempts to show how the new state of affairs is reflected in relation to the most solid traditions and in the relationship between man and his soil. The film tries to answer questions as to what this return really means, whether there will be enough energy to carry the process through and how personal and working relations thusfar have been changing. Many people have entered a new situation with only the courage and longing to continue family traditions - without any means to help them. All they have is their family's tie to the soil, animals, land and country. The film succeeds in demonstrating man's courage, character and will to come to terms with his new lot and, against all odds, to bring back honour and dignity to the management of property and land.
