That’s life

A Milanese businessman with a vast property empire has set his sights on building a luxury resort on the beach of a sleepy Sardinian village. The unemployed locals are over the moon, but there’s one holdout: Efisio, an elderly shepherd whose family has been grazing their cows on the idyllic beaches for generations. Efisio refuses to sell his house and his land.

The negotiations are proving difficult, and Efisio stands his ground despite the villagers’ desperate pleas and the vast sums of money offered to him year after year. The shepherd and his daughter Francesca are coming under increasing pressure, and the developers are trying to force the sale using underhand tactics. Efisio stubbornly stands his ground, and Francesca is slowly beginning to understand his defiance. Based on true events!
