The Shepherd of the Stars PBS Short Film Festival

When the world first began, a shepherd lived with his dog at the top of a high mountain. Each night, his divine mission was to blow in the magic horn and lights up the stars. Just before that, they saw the sun and greeted him, every evening. Eventually, the shepherd grew old and it was hard to walk. Will he kept lighting the night?
