One woman, two children and 170 sheep that she takes care of. Miren lives in the Basque Country, in her spare time she sings with her sisters in a choir and single-handedly runs her farm. The camera patiently accompanies her throughout the year of hard work capturing how Miren assists in the birth of a little lamb, produces her own cheese and looks after her sheep every day. She is very devoted to her work, which is seen as a man’s job. Yet Miren cannot imagine herself doing anything else.
