A young man returns to his native Romania to make a fresh start as a shepherd. Jannes Callens' film moves at the same pace as a pasture crossing, between expedition, pause and contemplation. Striking images of this profession merge with existential considerations. How can you guide a flock when you're a little lost yourself?

Dir. Jannes Callens - 52min - 2022 - Belgium, Romania
