Guber – Arbeit in Stein

Hans-Ulrich Schlumpf
1980 Switzerland 53 minutes German

1000 meters above sea level, Guber is one of the last quarries still in existence in the Alps. Earlier, it was mostly Italian workers, who lived there with their families. Later on, the Portuguese, came to spend the season, attracted by good wages. The film shows how they cope with hard working and exile.
