Synopsis

A young woman and a shepherd, both from different worlds, encounter each other and spend a day criss-crossing the Causse’s high plains looking for some of the shepherd’s animals that have wandered off. While they walk, they talk about life, work and love.

Our take

Before his arthouse hit Stranger by the Lake, Alain Guiraudie, the acclaimed director of an eccentric kind of pastoral-erotic cinema, made this charming, poetic, and very local medium-length film. A mundane western, an absurdist fable—whatever it is, it lives in its own delightful cinematic world.
