Pedro Pérez, his brother Tomás and two more shepherds guide their flock from Sierra Morena to Sierra de Segura, in the province of Jaén (Andalusia). It's the transhumance, the seasonal migration of cattle, which characterized for centuries European sheep farming and which a handful of stubborn shepherds (progressively fewer) don't resign. This film documents part of the springtime route of Pérez brothers, whose testimony given «por la verea» («on the route») reveals to us the anthropological and ecological reasons to continue this practice.
