A quiet village is shaken when a devoted shepherd’s routine is interrupted by a confounding event that exposes long-buried truths. As dawn breaks, the man at the heart of the story navigates fragile loyalties, secrets kept under the surface, and the moral weight of his decisions. Told with a gentle, contemplative rhythm, the film follows his intimate relationships—with family, neighbors, and the land—through a series of intimate, attention-to-detail scenes. A subtle tension builds as distant echoes of past choices resurface, forcing him to confront what it means to protect those he loves while staying true to himself.
