Considering the Ends
Nathalie, a shepherdess in the foothills of the Cévennes, is learning how to kill her animals. The film follows the gestures of a farmer who loves and eats her sheep with care. She is caught up in a relentless questioning about how to die well for these beings who make us live. What does tenderness taste like?
