Director

GILLES PERRET was born in 1968. His directing debut dates back to 1994 and Solitude Vertical, for the TF1's serial Ushuaïa nature. In 1996 he directed Le feu folet du vide, a portrait of the mountaineer Marc Batard for F3 Montagne; then in 1997 Une riviére et des Hommes: L'usine. In 1998 he directed the documentary Une saison de secours en montagne for the Discovery Channel followed by 100 ans d'histoire d'un vallée; in 2000, Les vins de Savoie et du Jura and L'Alpe en musique, a lyrical description of Alpine music narrated by the musician Jean Marc Jacquier. Trois Frères pour une Vie was entered in the Trento Festival and received a prize at the Diablerets and Autrans Festivals.

A true story, a story about mountain people confronted - in times of changes - with difficult choices.

In 1972 the Bertrand brothers decided to put all their efforts into a model farm situated in a small village in the Haute Savoie. The three work hard and are successful. Their farm is equipped with all the necessary machinery and they can produce a good product.

Thirty years later, their financial success is unarguable, but on a personal and human level, the situation is rather sad.
