Plot
This is an excellent documentary about the lives of the last shepherds of Serra da Estrela, a ridge of mountains in central Portugal. Their life is hard and almost the same as their forefathers, with little of the comforts of modern life. And it is because of this that young people turn their backs to this life with no future and the region is being depopulated.The documentary piece is excellently done, not emitting a single judgment about this way of life and its disappearance. The camera and the narration just show us what it the reporter sees - the way these people live. Highly recommended in these times when we are so obsessed with a life in communion with nature.
