This film was taken among the shepherds in the mountains of Rila and, in particular, shows the life of two of them - Georgi and his wife Elinka - and their flock of 250 sheep. From spring to autumn, from dawn to sunset, the shepherd lives among woods and postures under nature's spell, but their work is not always as romantic as it seems. Instead it is hard and tiring and requires a strong will and great love for the animals.
