The life of Luigi, an Italian shepherd in Brussels, is a counter-symbol for today's communication and consumption society.

synopsis

An exceptional documentary about the life of Luigi, an Italian shepherd in Brussels. Luigi's life is a counter-symbol for today's communication and consumption society. Every day Luigi walks with his herd along the periphery of Brussels. Every day the same road, every day the same rhythm. Song For The Price Of A Goat is a tribute to pureness, slowness and happiness. And to Luigi and his homeland Italy (Sicily). The documentary is put to a broader perspective: the personal - individual as opposed to the universal - collective.
Un documentaire exceptionnel sur la vie de Luigi, un berger italien à Bruxelles. La vie de Luigi est le contre-exemple de la communication actuelle et de la conception de la société. Tous les jours, Luigi marche avec son troupeau le long de la périphérie de Bruxelles. Tous les jours la même route, tous les jours le même rythme. Song For The Price of a Goat est un hommage à la pureté, la lenteur, le bonheur. Et à Luigi et son pays, l’Italie (Sicile). Ce documentaire adopte une perspective large : la perspective personnelle-individuelle en opposition à la perspective universelle-collective.
