In the whole film, there are no bright colors, and the warmest colors are probably the halo of the night lights and the fireworks of candles. People's clothes are cool colors, houses are white walls and black doors, the earth in late autumn is cool colors, and even the sky is not bright blue. Apart from the valley, a bridge connecting the pasture and the town, and the isolated houses in the valley, there is not a single modern building. The coldest thing is probably people. Brothers and friends are cold, distant, unfamiliar, alienated, and too lazy to be polite. Even if people are face to face, they will fall into endless silence after chatting a few words. In this context, all the most emotional and softest words of the two male protagonists who live alone seem to be given to the sheep, the breed passed down by their ancestors, the sheep on which they live.
The whole film is just a narrative, never explaining the iceberg-like estrangement between the brothers, the only narrative is that they stopped talking forty years ago. When discussing how to deal with the sheep in this valley, the neighbors didn't even bring any women in the valley. It seems that they can guess the deep resentment between the two brothers. Brotherhood and sheep are the two main lines of the film. These two lines are closely intertwined. The fate of the sheep is the common fate of the two brothers.
From the fate of sheep herding in a valley, the film reflects the fate of the current traditional breeding industry. In the age of information and genes, no one can escape the palm of the big age.
