Dumitru Stanciu is one of the last mountain shepherds in the Carpathian mountains. As his forefathers have done for generations, throughout the year he roams over in Transylvania. The film recounts the stories and myths of the mountains, which follow one another during the course of the year, far from the frenetic life of the modern world. The last account of a forgotten occupation in Europe.
