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.
