The Film

In the mountains of Ourense, Galicia, Manolo is one of the last remaining transhumant shepherds. His life follows ancient seasonal routes, carrying generations of knowledge about the land, the forests, and the animals he has spent a lifetime tending.

As devastating wildfires reshape the landscape around him, Manolo's story becomes a powerful reflection on resilience, cultural identity, and the uncertain future of rural communities.
