On the eve of the millennium, a Milanese businessman (Diego Abatantuono) sets his heart and his property empire on building a luxury eco resort in a sleepy Sardinian village. The locals, desperate for work, are delighted, but one barrier stands in the development s way: Efisio (Giuseppe Ignazio Loi) an elderly shepherd whose family has grazed cows on the idyllic beaches for generations, is refusing to sell his land. Negotiations drag on and curmudgeonly Efisio stands firm in the face of extravagant offers of money and infuriated entreaties from his neighbours. As the years pass, the shepherd and his daughter Francesca (Virginia Raffaele) find themselves under increasing pressure as the developers turn to underhand tactics to force the sale. Yet Efisio stays stubborn, and Francesca slowly begins to understand her father s contrary perspective.
