Plot:Antonio is a free-spirited shepherd. On Mount Cervati, the destination for ancient transhumances and processions, he can speak the language of his animals, the only beings with which he seems able to communicate. When he comes down into the valley, the locals reprimand him: his dogs are off the leash, but Antonio will never put a collar on his dogs, and he pays a bitter price for this refusal. The worsening of the conflicts does not, however, preclude Antonio’s vital necessity: to fight for his place in the world, seeing in nature a promise of freedom, despite everything. Through this modern tragedy-western, the protagonist will introduce us to a remote hinterland anchored in mysterious rituals.
