►Guadalajara 2025 (Best Socio-Environmental Film)

A documentary about a world we rarely see anymore. In the remote Sar mountains of North Macedonia, the film follows Zekir (20) and Zarif (16) and a family of shepherds, along with their twenty sheepdogs and five hundred sheep.

“The filmmaker and her crew deserve a lot of credit for even managing to capture this lifestyle … given the mountains are difficult to access and live on even for the brothers.” (Eye For Film)

“The slow rhythm of the film and the dreamlike light conditions invite the viewer to immerse themselves in picturesque, idyllic landscapes and thereby escape the hectic lifestyle so many of us are trapped in.” (Modern Times Review)

“With an endearing, earthy honesty and gentle eye for ironic humour, the director is able to bring a freshness to the timeworn theme of the clash between tradition and a rapidly changing global reality…” (The Film Verdict)
