An ode to life under the stars and the beauty of winter in expressive panorama shots: Diametric opposites, Pascal and Carole travel with a herd of sheep, four dogs and their donkeys through the wintery landscape of Switzerland. In search of fresh grass, they travel over 600km during four months. Their mission: to fatten up the sheep in preparation for Christmas dinners.

Director and composer Manuel von Stürler pays homage to a millennia-old tradition in his documentary road movie in praise of a simple life in tune with nature. Cold winter landscapes intermingle with the warmth of humanity, awakening a longing for a nomadic life far from the hectic of the city.
