While the Green Grass Grows: A Diary in Seven Parts

A chronicle of the wonders found in everyday life and events. Tragic and comic, philosophical and poetic, Mettler’s diary combines personal conversations, family history, memories, and love. The film gracefully explores our shared destiny and elevates the diary to the level of visionary cinema. Its meditative approach and investigative gaze create a space to capture the fragility of relationships, where reflections on the human condition and the environment merge in a stream of consciousness. Mettler travels between Switzerland and Canada, visits the mountains of New Mexico, and teaches at a film school in Cuba. He is always accompanied by the camera, “a machine that carries me through time.”
