The lives of female sheep herders in Italy. The figure of the shepherd has always been mainly a male one. But the field of sheep-goat farming is being taken over by a growing number of women who have chosen this traditional patriarchal work. The film follows the director’s experience -a 2 years’ journey and more of 100 interview - while living with them for some time, connecting with them deeply. These bonds of friendship and affection have become true narrative, spontaneous and intimate, of the protagonists’ motivations, difficulties and satisfactions. A portrayal of this unfamiliar world, where the distinctive female outlook implies taking care of the animals and protecting their extraordinary biodiversity, alongside this, preserving the majestic high-altitude Italian landscapes.
