Zekir (20) and Zarif (16) are the eldest brothers in a family of shepherds. They spend half a year in the heights of the Sar Mountains with their younger siblings, along with their twenty shepherd dogs and five hundred sheep, while their parents stay back in their village. Life in their safe haven is precarious, but nature is gorgeous: “Just fresh air and joy”, Zekir says. And work. Hard work; daily work. There is no alternative: “If you want to stay here, you have to work”, Zarif says. And to work means to be a shepherd, as they have been since they were 6 years old. So, when the teenager begins to daydream about another life while scrolling on his smartphone, a question arises. If Zarif leaves, will Zekir be able to keep their trade, which has been handed down to them over many generations and which they have begun to pass down to the younger ones?
