During the Astra Film Festival, Pătru, a shepherd, humorously discussed the qualities of a good ram and shared anecdotes about life in the mountains. He emphasized the importance of traditional wool clothing over modern attire and recounted experiences with bears. The film "Calea laptelui" highlights the challenges faced by shepherds today, contrasting past transhumance practices with current realities. The event featured Pătru's family and director Dumitru Budrala, who documented their lives for 15 years. The film is part of a section celebrating pastoral life, coinciding with the UN's International Year of Pastures and Pastoralists.
