This is not an entirely Herzog documentary. It's very beautiful to watch, very interesting, well done... I think the human side is very much Herzog's influence. It's the story of simple people, hardworking all year around. It's well structured too. I think the problem with it is the dubbing. Perhaps it was the version I saw that had voice over every interviewee. I think dubbing is just wrong, but in this case it was terrible. In such an intimate film about people you need to hear their real voices, empathise with them, identify the way they sound... it didn't happen and it was a shame.
Nicely done interesting documentary, dubbing hurted it though.
