Cheyenne, trent'anni

Born in Germany, Cheyenne has decided to return to the place where he feels most at home, the "Valley of Rabbi", (Trentino, North Italy) where she is shepherd. During the summer she moves her flocks of sheep from one pasture to another "for the care and maintenance of the landscape". The construction of fences, treating diseases of sheep, the transhumance through the valley, the loneliness on the pasture and the meetings with groups of tourists, characterize the summer of Cheyenne. In the film Cheyenne reveals also its dreams and its desire for change...
