High in the Macedonian mountains, amid a flock of 600 sheep guarded by huge dogs, stands a refuge. Children’s laughter echoes from the precarious shelter. They’re brothers between the ages of eight and twenty. When they’re not working, they play and discuss the meaning of life. Is this where their future lies?

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
In order to touch this disappearing world, you have to become part of it, and that is what I was interested in. To hear a thunderstorm on a mountain where there is nowhere to hide can only be described by sound.
