2 hr. 39 min.
In rural Sardinia, Sonetàula (Francesco Falchetto), a young sheepherder, is raised under the watchful eye of his father, Egidio (Lazar Ristovski), and grandfather, Sebastiano (Serafino Spiggia). When Egidio is wrongfully accused of murder and sent to fight a war in Africa, Sonetàula, along with his grandfather, dutifully tends to his father's flock. But the young boy must go into hiding when a dispute with a rival herder drives Sonetàula to commit a rash criminal act.
