The
main protagonist, Dara, lives with her husband, Rade Mitrović, in
the vicinity of Obrovac, an area of typical Croatian rocky ground.
They are the last authentic people of the area. He carves in the
old-fashioned way, while she takes her flock of sheep and goats
to graze in a pasture at the time when there is possibility of her
flock being attacked by hungry wolves. She is very skilled in leading
the flock, her dogs, in a special way. By the dog's behavior she
knows that wolves are approaching and it enables her to save the
flock, which is far from an easy task. This film follows the main
protagonist's efforts to track down a lost sheep. She does this
with careful investigation of all the relevant tracks of the lost
sheep and despite sacrificing the time to do her household chores.
This poetical documentary about eternal fight between good and wrong
