And they were going to blow up

two towers of power stations

that supplied Barcelona.

They were going to free

Franco's prisoners.

During the power shortage,

they would "empty" the prison.

But were unable to...

Quico was unable to do it.

It was an attempt.

Much like an attempt.

And that's what happened

at the Twin Towers,

and in Madrid.

And now in London this summer...

Another slaughter!

And all that lead whoever

took part in that f***in' war...

They kill everybody over there

in Iran-Iraq!

If what they show on

television is true,

that war must be hell

for that country!

That must be hell,

because everyone is dead there!

They still kill people!

Bush said the war was over,

but the war came afte"rw"ards.

- That bastard didn't do a thing!

- Not a thing!

Just spend millions on weapons,

and nothing else!

And the other countries also...

We are all lame on that!

We're all lame for sure,

we're all lame!

Damn it!

Bush blew it there!

Did they ever catch

that Bin Laden guy?

He's the one who takes

all the money under the table.

He's there right next to Bush

in his ranch.

I'm sure he is, I'm sure!

They'd catch him

if they wanted to, but...

They have to shut people up!

They have to say

they're doing something.

If Quei is in a good mood,

he'll tell you

all about the civil war!

Because Quei and old Picola

were kids during the war.

They remember it all.

This little lamb is nice.

What will happen 20 years from now?

Where will the herds go through?

On roads only?

Maybe they'll be a fire

or a drought and kill it all!

Someone said that the last time,

it all ended in a fire.

In a fire or a flood, and now

it will have to end in a fire.

They say the world will end

in about 300 million years.

- Will we still be alive?

- Sure, we'll be reincarnated!

People always say

we never really die.

Do you know a cure?

I got stuck with a bow.

Look at that finger.

It really hurts.

Try arnica oil.

Oh, women, Joan!

They're a lost cause, Joan!

A lost cause!

Joan, women have become ferocious!

He told me that, if you

don't sign these 5 bonuses,

they'll become

part of your single pay.

But if you do sign them,

they get withdrawn

and won't be part of your

single pay. You'd lose it.

And what is a "single pay"?

I don't know what single pay is!

It's probably just one payment!

Years ago, here in Vall del Bac,

we'd see 115 herds go through.

They'd start at the beginning of May

and end sometime in July.

And to get down,

they finished for Christmas.

I've got this blanket,

and I do like that.

- You'll be fine.

- I'll sleep like a king!

Do you want a pillow?

How about another one?

Okay.

The pillows should be high!

I don't want a dish,

just a piece of bread.

Come on, eat.

Eat, man!

Take some beans!

I had breakfast at home...

The bread basket, the bag...

We'll put the bag there.

We'll put that here.

Since 1949,

Joan "Pipa" is a nomadic shepherd

in the Catalan Pyrenees.

We accompany him

on his lastjourney.

Springtime, at home

That's the end of it.

That's the end of it.

Shouldn't you have left

for the mountain today?

I'd have left today.

I'd have left today.

We'd have left today.

Do you miss the journey?

Of course I miss it...

Come, Cristobal.

Let's have dinner.

Summer, at home

Autumn, at home

You see, Cristobal?

Here is where I have to spend

summer and winter.

Everything is gone,

as you can imagine.

What should I do with the sheep?

I'll have to feed them

with the rake.

Or, on the contrary, sell them...

But no one wants any.

Just like this land is in bad shape,

other neighbours,

other shepherds

are in the same solution.

Here in Catalonia we'll be left

without land and animals.

You can see

how rotten all this is!

In summertime you can't go

to the mountains

because the weather

has ruined the grass.

And down here the machines

are killing it all off!

We've reached the conclusion

that our work is over!

And all this is due to the train,

which will not benefit us at all!

We'll see it go by, and that's it!

But we'll never take the train!

But I also understand

that if they do it,

it's for their own needs,

or to cover up some money.

They know their own reasons!

There was plenty of water flowing

in the mountains all year long.

But for the last 6 or 7 years,

there isn't a drop.

People seem to take

the climate change as a joke,

but it's a very serious problem.

It's getting worse and worse.

It's started in the mountains,

but will soon reach the plains.

There will be neither water

nor grass!

Moving livestock is a dead job!

Years ago, these cattle paths

were crossed by thousands of sheep,

but now they are crossed

by thirty million cars!

Shepherds lost it all because they

remained silent, they didn't protest.

A road was built here, a moto"rw"ay

there, another road here,

and the livestock paths

have been destroyed!

And that breaks my heart.

I have done this all my life,

following cattle paths

from Port de la Selva to Ripolls.

That's the alarm that means

"it's time to move..."
