Take My Breath Away
Malia Ulmus - 2017
There's really no other choice for someone who was the son of a shepherd, from a village of shepherds, hidden in a remote mountain valley. School was nothing but a distant memory, nobody in his village went there for more than a few years. Skills like reading the weather, sensing when a sheep was about to give birth, knowing how to make the most of the milk and cheese, those were what they needed to get by. And maybe also the ability to survive in solitude. Because growing up a shepherd meant you’d spend the summer months mostly depending on your own, sheep and dogs your sole companions. More importantly it was a life free from the ravages of war that were inflicting other parts of his country. Most of the villagers and shepherds had become wary of both soldiers and the resistance fighters. He'd heard stories of soldiers torturing innocent villagers just because a resistance fighter had spent the night in one of their stables or of so-called resistance troops looting villages for food. His village's seclusion is the shield that protects them and his small family... until the day he stumbles over a severely injured freedom fighter, one whose beauty and charm turn Raul's world upside down. The two men spend the summer of their lives together. But autumn and with it Raul's return to his village, his wife and his child, is approaching mercilessly. After a spending such a summer together, how can they possibly face a future apart?
