Film about goatkeepers and the nomadic life of shepherds in Oaxaca, who live up in the mountains with their goats in a solitary and dedicated life, until the time comes to deliver their herd to the Hacienda where the matanza takes. A tradition that goes back in the region for over 400 years. All family members get involved in the Matanza and the goat meat preparation. The film is a reflection about life and death at the Mixteca. The traditions and music of the region are present through the Pasatono Orchestra, the Lila Downs´ singing voice and a peasant who wonders: What do goats dream?
