Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, this documentary explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community.
The film follows an aging shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, this modern folktale tells of tradition, community and humanity's relationship with a vanishing natural world. UK filmmaker Max Keegan moved to France for three years to make the film.
Lyrical, visually and aurally ravishing … an ecological vision that is wordlessly embedded in every shot.
