While most kids leave for summer holidays, 8-year-old Basri is eager to spend the break with his brothers in the Macedonian mountains. For generations, his family has been shepherds, and today, his three older brothers are taking care of hundreds of sheep and dozens of cows, protected from the wolves by a loyal pack of dogs. This summer, Basri will delve into learning the job, enjoying the wild nature, the feeling of freedom and the heavy duties of life dealing with the cycles of nature, far from the adult world. A dream life for him, while his olde brothers begin to dream of a different future.

The second feature film from Hana Jušić (Quit Staring at My Plate) is a darkly poetic neo-Western about a mysterious Chilean woman who brings unrest to a traditional Croatian shepherding community at the beginning of the 20th century. Blending elements of Wuthering Heights, Croatian folklore, and Jane Campion’s The Piano, the film earned its two leading actresses an award at Locarno.
