The film follows the age-less, yearly, slow migration of shepherds and their ovine flocks from the dry plains of Provence to the greenery spring pastures in higher altitudes of the Alps. Such is the practice of transhumance, another kind of pastoralism.

In the Sand Ridge of the Danube-Tisza Interfluve, pastoral farming has also played a crucial role in food production and the livelihoods of shepherds. In conjunction with the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (2026), the third episode of our Man in the Landscape series focuses on the significance of pastoral farming in the Sand Ridge region.
