- Synopsis
- A journey through the vocation of six shepherds who see how the profession they love come to the end. A journey over the course of a year that allows us to understand what has brought them there and where they are heading. A reflection on lifestyle that tries to preserve an ancient profession that seems to have no place as society evolves.
  In Spain, was established the idea that people who lived in the countryside were yokels and that they should move to the cities to create industries. Today, this opinion has hardly changed, and a few remaining shepherds survive in rural areas trying to preserve an ancestral profession. While the rest of Spanish society tries to reach the level of European development, they struggle to maintain a lifestyle that they love. Six shepherds, women and man, from different generations, are raising their voices to protect their profession and the countryside life. With an intimate and empathetic narrative, led by the protagonists, they allow us travel with them throughout a year (2019-2020) in which events have occurred that no one could have imagined. A journey through their life philosophy that highlights the actual situation they suffer and how it silently affects society. About how some try to survive so that others can live well.
