Mathyas, an aspiring writer, trades his life in Montreal as a young advertising executive for that of a shepherd in the South of France. But the road to his desired pastoral tranquillity is filled with hard work. A visit from Elise, a civil servant who boldly quit her job, gives Mathyas' quest a new direction. Together, they embark on a transhumance. Facing the challenges of the mountains, with a herd to take care of, they will forge a new life for themselves.
Sur un coup de tête, Mathyas troque sa vie de publicitaire à Montréal pour celle de berger en Provence. Il espérait trouver la quiétude, il découvre un métier éreintant et des éleveurs souvent à bout. Mais quand il rencontre Elise qui elle aussi vient de tout quitter, ils se voient confier un troupeau de 800 moutons et s’engagent dans une transhumance. Ensemble, ils vont traverser les épreuves de la montagne et se façonner une vie nouvelle.
