Synopsis
Aspiring writer Mathyas gives up his life as a young advertising executive in Montreal to become a shepherd in the South of France. But the road to pastoral bliss is lined with grueling labor. When Elise joins him after quitting her job as a bureaucrat, his quest takes a new direction. With a herd in their care, they embark on a journey through mountains and valleys. Faced with the challenges of nature, together they discover a new way of life.
