We are very pleased to announce that "TATTI, Land of Dreams", a film by Ruedi Gerber, will soon have its debut in Italian and Swiss cinemas this Spring.
A declaration of love from the director towards this magicalMaremma village in southern Tuscany, where he arrived by chance over thirty years ago. A film in which his personal story intertwines with that of an entire community, until it becomes one singular shared life story.
An intimate portrait that becomes a universal story of resilience, showing how a community can be reborn while preserving its traditions and memory as it evolves.
After the successful premieres at the Zurich Film Festival and theFestival dei Popoli in Florence, followed by a preview screening in Follonica that was warmly received by the audience, the film is now preparing to debut in Italian cinemas: the first screening will take place in Florence on April 9th (see the calendar below).
“I arrived in Sequerciani by chance. Here I discovered something I wasn't looking for and that, perhaps, I had always longed for: the unique and profoundly touching, frankness, openness, and warmth of its people.
My friendship with the twin brothers Marco and Massimo, the last farmers in the village, ignited a spark of hope in me: the fields could breathe again, the rows of vines could be reborn like promises, a shop and a restaurant could be filled with aromas and laughter, and ancient spaces could once again welcome friends and travelers.
In conversation with the inhabitants of Tatti and in our shared work, we rediscovered life flowing.
And as Tatti changed, so did I.In Tatti, I lost myself… and in Tatti, I found myself again.”
Ruedi Gerber
Ruedi's words reveal just how cathartic and transformative this process was for him, the culmination of which is this film.
The transformation of a man, the rebirth of a village.
The film also holds a universal message: the power of dreaming together.
Tatti's story is authentic, spontaneous, and doesn't hide the truth. From these sincere beginnings, Ruedi's desire to immerse himself in the community's activities—primarily agriculture—was born, merging ancient traditional knowledge with more innovative visions.
The inhabitants knew the land, the rocks, in every detail; Ruedi brought biodynamics, permaculture, and a more horizontal approach.They brought the machinery, and he brought the new ideas.
Thus, by listening and learning together, a collaboration was born,capable of generating new dreams: the rebuilding of Tatti's economic and community fabric, restoring enthusiasm and the pleasure of being together.

A story of land, hope, and returns. The story of a community.
This film is also a message for the future: while remembering the past, we can build positive change. Human connection and a shared community purpose can revitalize a village and our belief in what is possible.
