Three teenage brothers spend several months each year alone in the mountains of Solunska glava, looking after their family’s flock. 

At 2,400 meters of altitude, far from any kind of society, the brothers live a free and precarious life, filled with hard work, simple games and innocent joy. Except for their two much younger siblings, whom Zekir tries to teach the trade, and a younger sister who occasionally visits Zani, the boys’ only companions are their numerous dogs. 

As they come of age, many questions rise in the brothers’ minds: who are they, individually and in relation to each other? Can they manage a sustainable life as shepherds? What lies ahead in their future? As tensions arise between the oldest Zekir and Zarif, the latter grows eager to change his life.
