This excerpt is part of Giuseppe Bacigalupo's family film 'La Buona Terra', named after their country home. The film is divided into several chapters outlining a typical day spent in their rural home. In the chapter 'July: dinner in the garden', the scene takes place under the shade of a tree while the camera lingers on a trolley with plates, glasses, jugs of juice and water, and a basket of bread. The great-grandmother enjoys the miestra, grandfather Massimo tastes the food with satisfaction, while Frieda and grandmother Elfride chat light-heartedly.
