Synopsis
A man sitting in an electric wheelchair together with his dog and a herd of malnourished sheep crosses the delta towards an unlimited horizon. The overwhelming presence of nature turns the characters into simple figures trapped in a threatening and vast space. A place where the man meets his own primitive inside. Some of the newborn puppies have to be put down, but that's no easy task from the chair. The cries of the puppies chill you to the bone, but the man in the wheelchair is unflappable. The unexpected burst into a cruel and hopeless reality and opens aspiral to the unknown. A dark portrait of the man who just might be the only wheelchair-bound shepherd on earth. Life and death walk together in an inhospitable and disturbingly beautiful landscape.
