The first film to win both the Golden Palm and the Critics Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. It tells the story of Gavino, a six-year-old boy who is pulled out of school by his tyrant father and forced to work as a shepherd in the inhospitable mountains of Sardinia.
"A sei anni Gavino deve abbandonare la scuola perchè il padre, Efisio, ha bisogno di lui: deve guardargli le pecore e contribuire cosi' al sostentamento della famiglia. Una volta cresciuto, sa dunque tutto della vita sui pascoli e di bestiame, ma è un analfabeta e sa parlare solo in dialetto. La vista di due ragazzi forniti di fisarmonica lo scuote dal suo torpore: per procurarsene una, uccide un paio di agnelli. E' il primo atto di ribellione contro il padre, che però continua a dettar legge. Quando, infatti, dopo che una gelata ha distrutto il loro uliveto, Gavino decide di emigrare in Germania, Efisio gli nega il suo consenso..."@it
