Finding your next obsession

As the bora wind blows from the east, so from Slovenia to Italy came both the Karst shepherd dog and the wolf that has returned to populate the Alps. The much debated question of the relationship between humans and large predators is addressed here from an unprecedented point of view: that of the shepherd dog. The camera follows the training of a dog according to the ancient method that will prepare it to care for an entire flock by itself. After training, he will be welcomed by a family whose previous shepherd dog was killed in the pasture by a bear. At the same time, it tells of the journey of the most famous Slovenian wolf, Slavc, who, covering more than a thousand kilometres, reached the Alps, stopping in the Lessinia mountains. A balanced, unforced documentation that calmly recounts the theme of coexistence with the "children of the bora", be they dogs or wolves.
