Pascal, 53, and Carole, 28, are shepherds. In the month of November, they embark on their long winter transhumance: four months during which they will have to cover 600 km in the French region of Switzerland, accompanied by three donkeys, four dogs and eight hundred sheep.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Neil Young
An unassuming and suitably gentle-paced charmer.
The New York Times by Nicolas Rapold
What little we learn of Pascal, who has worked in Switzerland as a shepherd for more than 30 years, and Carole, who is a former dietitian, fits in a scene or two, but their practical journey yields a certain contemplative equanimity.
Los Angeles Times by Sheri Linden
An exhilarating vérité work by first-timer Manuel von Stürler, the documentary follows this seasonal migration, or transhumance, with a sense of quiet awe and intimacy, capturing the feel of cold rain, deep snow and the comforting heat of a campfire.
