Synopsis
With the Alps as an imposing backdrop, Lake Constance looks like a placid pool. Europe´s third-largest lake produces a Mediterranean climate which is favourable to unique forms of wildlife. This region, which connects three countries, is, with its varieties of people, landscapes and atmospheres, a rich study in contrasts unlike almost any other place in Europe. Lake-hills-mountains: these three types of landscapes are contrasted against each other throughout the film.
