As the city stirs into life, the sheep commence their migration, flooding man-made spaces with an ocean of wool and the rumble of a thousand hooves. Nightfall transforms them into ghostly figures, their eyes glowing against the dark canvas of the night, their instincts keeping them alert in the face of uncertainty. The next day the perspective starts to change. After passing a bustling highway, they leave the city behind and enter an ancient cattle route, where an encounter with a herd of cows offers a lesson in herd dynamics and solidarity. As the journey leads them through drought-stricken fields and drying creeks, the camera inches closer, the footage becoming an intimate portrayal of their perseverance. A white sheep leads the way through rugged landscapes and a narrow bridge as they enter the mountains. In these highlands, they find sustenance - an emerald-green haven nestled in between the ridges. "Beyond the City Park" is more than a documentary, It invites the viewers to share in the embodied experiences of the sheep, to feel the rhythm of their journey, and to understand their perseverance and resilience. By bringing the camera closer into the flock, it offers a unique, intimate perspective, capturing their interactions, gestures, and reactions as they navigate their environment.
