Franz Plotzer har been a shepherd for several decades. While he crosses with his flock of sheep the park of the german city Kassel, both him, and the passersby in the park have to answer certain questions. The shepherd's seem philosophical, they are about life and labour, while the others are simply asked how many sheep they think are in the flock. Some attempt a guess, others even try to count them. A film with gentle-sweet irony, about the "transhumance" through a park famous for building a bridge between baroque architecture and nature. Amusing and ingenious, the documentary suggests an ironic comparison between life and sheep.
