Screenings

A shepherd mother and her teenage daughter fiercely defend their mountain from the threat of becoming a NATO military training ground. From domestic rituals to the demands of pastoral labour, their lives are sustained by an intimate understanding of the land. Beautifully paced and visually arresting, the film becomes an ecological chronicle of resilience across generations of women.
