Documentary poetic realism cinema

It's a Switzerland film realized in the tradition of Jean Epstein and his film "la belle Nivernaise" realized in 1923 ; a film in the tradition of the french documentary poetic realism cinema filmed in outsides with a tinted photography of very high quality. The story is held in Haute-Savoie in Evian, Montreux and Meillerie around the Leman's lake. André Carel son of a famous french writer stay in Savoie accompanied by his tutor (Michel Simon) and fall in love with the daughter of a owner boatman (Blanche Montel)who make the transport of stones across the lake. Beginning slowly, the film become so interesting in the second part with a very pleasant realization and so pretty images of the lake's shipping tradition and of the little town of Meillerie. Very good copy very well restored by the "cinémathèque of Lausanne".
