In the Zagros mountains, In southwest Iran, A teacher accompanies a family of nomadic shepherds Bakthyaris in their spring transhumance. For three weeks, He walks alongside them and, in the evening, makes class to children. His mission: to send them elementary education, Indispensable to find a work in town where they hope to settle.
At the end of the journey - real race against the cold and the wind, alternating narrow passages, steep edges, precipices, Snow -based passes - The nomads reach the summer camp and the teacher organizes the exams. This year, Transhumance has a particular flavor for this family: it is the last time that it has been on foot, thus breaking with a millennial tradition.
Witness to a lifestyle condemned to disappear, This film poses an intimate and poetic look at this little -known people. Over the confidences, He captures the splendor of the mountains and the hope brought by sedentarization, that many children dream of.
