DOR (Longing).

A cinematic and existential encounter between Belgian-Romanian Stefan Gota and a group of young shepherds.

A young man returns to his native Romania to make a fresh start as a shepherd. Jannes Callens’ film moves at the same pace as a pasture crossing, between expedition, pause and contemplation. Striking images of this profession merge with existential considerations. How can you guide a flock when you’re a little lost yourself?
