Plot

Philippe is a former teacher who left everything to become a shepherd in the French Pyrenees. After the construction of a nuclear power plant near his sheep, he decided to leave the area. After an unsuccessful search in Switzerland, he found the village Chersogno in the Maira Valley. The village is inhabited mainly by elderly residents and people who come only for summer holidays. It is a very closed community, which preserves the Occitan language and culture in Italy. After some doubts, the town council finds a home to let to Philip and the villagers set to work to restore it. Initially, the village seems to welcome Philippe, his wife and three children. But soon some misunderstandings arise caused by the new residents who are not always sensitive to local customs and property rights. Especially Philip goats, who venture into abandoned fields get some owners angered. Thus, over time the family is less accepted by the villagers and malicious acts begin.

gollark: If you use, say, Facebook, and won't use non-Facebook stuff which is better for privacy, you are giving Facebook money and making people use Facebook to communicate with you.
gollark: I mean, most of the more privacy-oriented stuff is free and open source.
gollark: As I said, it's not doing *much* to other people but it is doing something, which is why your threshold for that should probably be... above zero?
