Last Transhumance

Director:
Dragos Lumpan

Some 10.000 years ago, in the Middle East, man first domesticated sheep, and took them ‘on the road.’ That's what shepherds call transhumance. The transhumance clock stops each time a family of shepherds choose to no longer take to the road. Nevertheless, it keeps ticking through the stubbornness of those who continue to sleep among their sheep under the clear sky – the remaining few who still live under the stars. The Last Transhumance is their story.
