In the mountains of Sardinia and the inhospitable desert landscape of Palestine, shepherds have been herding livestock in the same traditional way for centuries. Experienced men drive bleating sheep and goats across fertile grazing spots. From a distance, the dancing white dots form an aesthetically appealing and meditative image against a background of dramatic mountain ridges.

Princesa is a young Nigerian woman who arrived in Sardinia as a victim of human trafficking. There is a syncretism on the island, between the beliefs of a primitive animism, traditional Christianity and the more recent faith of the Nigerian Evangelical church. Princesa's face reflects an inner world dominated by fear, the break with her own land, and the desire to make good in a new one. Footage shot during a Nigerian funeral rite and a sequence from a Nollywood drama both contain biographical traces of the lead character. Princesa has made a choice, but she is not yet free.
