SYNOPSIS

In a hidden corner of rural France, a shepherd grows deeply attached to his lambs and falters at the thought of sending them to slaughter. Torn between love and tradition, he dares the unthinkable: reaching out to a radical animal rights activist — his natural enemy. Together, they conspire to save a few lives in secret, forging an unlikely alliance. Suspicion gives way to fragile trust in a story woven with poetry and contrast, asking whether humanity can emerge from the meeting of two opposing worlds.
