From director and co-writer Sophie Deraspe, SHEPHERDS is a beautiful and naturalistic adaptation of Mathyas Lefebure's semi-autobiographical novel D’OÙ VIENS-TU, BERGER?.

Mathyas (Félix-Antoine Duval) trades in his Montreal life as a young advertising executive to become a shepherd in the South of France. However, the harsh realities of the pastoral world force him to question his romantic vision of the profession. A visit from Elise (Solène Rigot), a civil servant who has abruptly quit her job, gives Mathyas’ quest a new direction. Together, with a herd in their care, they embark on a journey towards a new way of life in the mountains.
