On the west coast of Ireland, under his grandfather’s critical eyes, Cian learns the challenging trade of shepherding. A sensitive coming-of-age observation.
Sixteen-year-old Cian is expected to work at his family’s sheep farm after school. Life there is as rough as the Irish west coast landscape. No time to lie in or play football. Instead, rams must be taken by the horns. In this sensitive coming-of-age study, the camera watches the lanky boy from up close as he learns the challenging craft of shepherding, under his grandfather’s patient and critical eyes.
