In this adrenaline-fueled adventure, Eva zu Beck takes us on a wild ride through the rugged Polish mountains to meet the fearless shepherds who defy modernity. Led by the legendary Jarek Buczek and the young shepherd Kamil, these mountain men embody a vanishing way of life, living in harmony with nature from April to October. Eva delves into the heart of their existence, showcasing the humble shepherd's hut and the raw beauty of their daily struggles against the elements.
As Kamil navigates the treacherous terrain with his motley crew of sheep, each step is a battle against nature's fury. The bond between man and beast is palpable as Kamil expertly guides the flock through rain and mud, showcasing a resilience that is as awe-inspiring as it is primal. Despite the challenges and the looming threat of wolves, these shepherds stand tall as the last bastions of tradition in a rapidly changing world.
With the season coming to a close, Jarek contemplates the future of sheep herding and the uphill battle against modernity. The community comes together in a vibrant celebration known as redyk, honoring the shepherds' dedication and the enduring spirit of a way of life on the brink of extinction. Eva's journey is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the timeless allure of a life lived close to the land, where every day is a battle and every victory a triumph against the odds.
