Faced with physical labor and personal transformation, Mathyas begins a demanding apprenticeship in the rugged mountains. His path takes a new turn with the arrival of Élise, a civil servant searching for meaning. Together, they embark on a transhumance, forging a new existence shaped by nature, hardship, and renewal.

What People Are Saying:

“Shepherds adapts Lefebure’s memoir D'où viens-tu, berger? and might thrill audiences with its notion of connecting with a traditional way of life, while leaving them equally daunted by the realities of it. This is a touching, soul-stirring film that rejuvenates a viewer like a crisp flick of fresh air.”
