Synopsis

Following a medical wake-up call, Montréal copywriter Mathyas Lefebure (Félix-Antoine Duval) abandons his life in Canada to reinvent himself as a sheep herder in the French Alps. After a rough start, he’s joined by Élise (Solène Rigot), a civil servant tempted by his stories of pastoral life, and together they commit to a summer on the mountainside. Just the two of them. And one border collie. And 800 sheep.

Critics' reviews

"The lack of any significant narrative conflict leaves 'Shepherds' as a visually beautiful but mostly unmemorable tale that rides primarily on the allure of the pastoral cinematography by Vincent Gonneville"
