Carole, a 28-year old Breton, and Pascal, a 53-year old Swiss, are an unusual "couple". In November 2010, they leave for their winter migration, a so-called "transhumance" with three donkeys, four dogs and eight hundred sheep: three months of braving cold and snow. At night, a tarpaulin and sheepskins serve as their only shelter. Leaving villas, train tracks and industrial zones behind, they traverse lands in complete metamorphosis, meeting peasant friends as well as new residents: "commuters" from the country intent on urbanizing.
WINTER OF NOMADS is a contemporary adventure film at the heart of a territory undergoing a radical transformation – a film that takes us back to our roots and poses questions about today’s society.
