A different type of life style

An interesting tale about an American guy who is too tired of American type of life style and chose to live in the wilderness of Alpine Mountains and mainly deal with nature. This story shows how different some people's life styles and beliefs could be and the fact that they still seem to be the happiest people in the world. This is also the sad story of a little boy who once wanted to be a cowboy like Gary Cooper and never had the chance to make it in a world that is too cruel and sophisticated to underestand the kids' type of love and passion.
