Sardinien (1956)

We see the stone structures of early invasions, and a train takes us through the rugged countryside to see the Sardinian people of today, and their mode of living, showing independence and self-reliance. Sheep are carefully tended. We see their wool being treated and spun, cloth-weaving and needlework; barley-grinding in mill of ancient design, bread-baking and home delivery. We witness a wedding, from preparations to reception and traditional dancing; a holiday parade; a winter scene and a funeral service; a sick boy treated by the village patriarch, another by a strange medicine and incantation. The annual "Ardia" festival is shown, with horsemen riding at breakneck speed to commemorate an historical event. We watch the preparations for the annual tuna run, and then the action of the fishing fleet in catching the giant tuna. The film ends as the boats come in at day's end, and narrator praises the courageous and resourceful spirit of these island dwellers.
