By zooming in on two families, filmmakers Daphne Matziaraki and Peter Murimi paint a picture of the different ways of life and thinking. Herder Simeon explains how electric fences around ranches and nature reserves are putting pressure on the nomadic lifestyle of his people, the Samburu. Everything in his culture revolves around cattle. For Maria, a descendant of British colonists, the land she owns is the focus of her existence.

Both love their native soil, but they live in two separate worlds. While Maria worries about being able to pay for permits, Simeon fears for the survival of his herd.
