A young shepherd in the Lesotho highlands dreams beyond his isolation until a South African fugitive offers mentorship and a ticket to Johannesburg — at a price neither names aloud.

Warren Masemola is quietly magnificent, and the highland photography is breathtaking. The fragile bond between the two men becomes a meditation on belonging that lingers long after the credits.

Verdict: Festival cinema with a beating heart. Seek it out.
