Harsh and frugal, solitude and constant exposure to bad weather, in continuous fear of predator attacks... this is a shepherd's life.
And this is the story of one of them, with his flock and his dogs, surrounded by the wonderful landscapes of Garfagnana and Appennino Tosco-emiliano National Park in Italy, where he makes a one day long decisive journey, lasting from dawn till dusk, which reveals his extraordinary relationship with himself and with nature, in a harsh yet still today human scaled environment.
For some time now he has been cherishing the idea of leaving the mountains and to go down to the valley, looking for a place which can finally offer him greater wellbeing without the problems he has to face in the mountains.
Three particular events, between fantasy and reality, will contribute to his final decision.
