Anselmo, a middle age shepherd, lives a modest but happy life in a remote house in the middle of the Spanish plains. When he refuses a juicy offer from a construction company planning to build a new residential complex on his property, little does he know that his life is about to be turned upside down. The owners of the neighboring lands have all agreed to sell and his refusal jeopardizes the whole deal. Blinded by greed, they are determined to do whatever it takes to make him change his mind…
