Original title: Schaap

In the lush fields of northern Belgium, as winter tightens its grip, the sheep of Eddy, Jeroen, and Johny become silent witnesses to a hidden drama when a wolf is driven to the edges of human lands in search of sustenance. With the three human protagonists doing everything within their power to protect their rights of existence, this film stands up for the least heard voice in Belgium’s brand new wolf territory: that of the bleating sheep.

With highly creative editing and sound design, this documentary powerfully tells the story from the animal’s perspective without voice-over. The direction makes it captivating, culminating in a strong finale and an especially impressive use of audio that deserves recognition.
