Tushetian shepherds lead thousands of sheep from the snowy peaks of the Caucasus to the deserted steppes of Vashlovani and back. Filmed over 16 months, the story follows their seasonal migration - a life lived under the open sky, shaped by the rhythm of nature and the needs of their animals. In this changing world, the shepherds' timeless tradition remains fragile: if they stop moving, they risk losing not only their flocks but also the wisdom of their ancestors, a culture that can endure only through motion.
