Transhumance, from the Latin “trans-humus”, meaning “across the earth”, indicates the migration of livestock to seasonal pastures, a ritual of the agro-pastoral world still in use in Basilicata and in some Mediterranean regions.As in a transhumance, this film proposes a path of communion with the Earth: an invitation to rediscover one’s own mineral, vegetable and animal nature, disconnecting from the hyper-technological networks of the contemporary world: a reversal of reality similar to that of Carnival.
