Gaucho del Norte' tells the story of a Patagonian sheepherder recruited to work in Idaho. The nomadic two-year journey follows Eraldo Pacheco and his herd of more than a thousand sheep across a lonely, rugged landscape --- from the harsh beauty of wintry high desert, to the lush summer mountains. Living in isolation, Eraldo faces the ups and downs of a psychologically demanding job far away from his home and family, often questioning whether or not it's all worth it.
