Marche ou Crève

About This Movie

Marche ou Crève is an immersive documentary that feels more like a meditation than a traditional film. You follow Maïté and her sheep through the rugged landscapes of southern Ardèche, and it’s really about the rhythm of her life, the connection to the land. The pacing is contemplative—you’re not rushed, you’re invited to just be with her. The atmosphere is thick with the sounds of nature, the bleating of sheep, and the whisper of the wind. There's something raw and authentic about Maïté’s determination; you can feel her history and the weight of her choices. The film doesn’t push an agenda but rather lets you sit with her reality, which I think makes it quite distinctive in the documentary landscape.
