In this gem of minimalist and poetic magnetism, filmmaker Oskar Alegría embarks on a journey to bring provisions to the last shepherd of the Andia Mountains. Retracing the seasonal route his grandfather made with his flock, Alegría collects a trove of memories from a disappearing world, embodied in sounds and degraded silent images captured with his father’s Super-8 camera. Mostly silent, the film is accompanied by on-screen text that poetically complements the images and muses about the creative process. Intermittently, however, snippets of sound make an appearance. Ancient songs, sounds, and encounters chart a way of life mostly forgotten.
