[Visions du Réel '24] A look at the astonishing nature of the French High Alps through the lonely journey made by Felix, a young shepherd who leads a flock through rugged landscapes on foot for 200 kilometers through the Ubaye valley, pressed for time to be able to reach their destination within the deadline but also due to the continuous attacks of wolves that can kill more than twenty sheep some nights. It is a silent and contemplative film that increases the presence of humans in the second half in which the protagonist takes care of the family flock in the French Prealps. The disturbing presence of the wolves is shown in night shots in which we see their shadows lurking, a presence that not only threatens the flock but also the very survival of a traditional work that has already been transformed by urban traces. Edited with special delicacy by Agathe Hervieu and Tania Goldenberg, who let the images breathe in long takes filmed by the director himself, the film introduces us to a life that has a timeless character, a solitary choice that is nevertheless surrounded by a poetry that It is not only drawn from the books of poems by Fernando Pessoa that Felix reads but also from the living and changing nature itself that surrounds the shepherds.
