Shepherds Pascal and Carole undertake a winter trek with three donkeys, four dogs and 800 sheep. The film follows them in intimate contact with nature and the elements.

Protected only by waterproof covers and sheepskin blankets, the shepherds and their herd travel 600 km in four months: an extraordinary adventure full of challenges, in intimate contact with nature and the elements. A marvelous ode to the freedom that living in nature still can mean.

“The film gives insight into an almost extinct profession while eschewing any romanticized clichés.” (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung)
