A film about departure, language, and the quiet strength of a radical new beginning
Hirten takes the audience into a narrative that artfully intertwines literature, cinema, and life design. The screening in Bamberg shows a visually powerful drama about self-discovery, experiences in nature, and the question of how much renunciation a new life demands.
An autobiographical material with literary depth
The film is based on the autobiographical novel Where Do You Come From, Shepherd? by Mathyas Lefebure. The Canadian author, who after studying philosophy worked in advertising and marketing and later lived as a shepherd in Provence, transforms biographical experience into literature of great inner tension. This is precisely where the film adaptation draws its strength: From a personal crisis emerges a universal reflection on freedom, work, landscape, and identity.
When nature becomes the stage of the inner self
The story follows an advertising professional who leaves Montreal, moves to Provence, and begins life as a shepherd. What initially seems like a romantic escape turns into a test of endurance. The film relies on slow observation, wide images, and a reading atmosphere in the metaphorical sense: Each scene feels like a quietly spoken chapter on deceleration, solitude, and the longing for belonging.
A cinema evening for literature lovers and arthouse audiences
Those interested in literary adaptations, autobiographical themes, and poetic storytelling will find in Hirten a literary experience with clear cultural journalistic added value. The source material by Mathyas Lefebure transforms the cinematic narrative into more than just a nature film: It opens a discourse on self-transformation, the working world, rural existence, and the emotional truth of departure.
The venue: Cinema as an intimate space for great stories
The film will be shown at Lichtspiel & Odeon in Bamberg, a traditional program cinema with a clear focus on arthouse films, special screenings, and cultural formats. For a work like Hirten, this environment is ideal: Here, concentrated viewing meets cinematic quality, and the audience experiences the film not in passing, but consciously and closely.
Conclusion: An evening for everyone wishing to rediscover literature in cinema
Hirten combines the power of a literary material with the visual language of cinema and invites you to a quiet, intense evening.
