Over the course of one summer, Kapka Kassabova lives with perhaps the last true pastoralists in Europe.
She joins the epic seasonal movement of vast herds of sheep, along with shepherds and dogs, to find pasture in the mountains. As she becomes attuned to the sacrifices inherent in this isolated existence, Kassabova finds herself drawn deeper into the tangled relationships at the heart of this small community.
Anima is a spellbinding portrayal of the human-animal interdependence in pastoral life, and a plea for a different way of living - one where we might all begin to heal our broken relationship with the natural world.
