Orgoso­lo, Oliena and Manci­na are remote vil­lages in the par­tic­u­lar­ly inhos­pitable Sar­din­ian hin­ter­land. The inhab­i­tants make a meagre living prin­ci­pal­ly from pas­toral activ­i­ties. Since the men spend most of their time with their herds, the women work togeth­er in the fields, col­lect­ing fire­wood, prepar­ing the bread, doing the wash­ing in the tor­rent and look­ing after the children.
