This documentary is about the problem that exists in the town of Villamayor de Campos(Zamora)whose inhabitants lives around an energy transformer and where many have undergone cancer. All this is seen through the experience of Martina Asensio, one of the victims and grandmother of the director of this short. But at the same time, it is about the lack of unity this problem brings about, differentiating two clear positions: On the one hand, the neighbors far away from the transformer who do not want to go against the city council and besides feel secure because of the distance to the transformer. And on the other hand, the neighbors who live near the transformer with constant fear and fight to move away this threat to a safer place. These people who step forward and fight for a better life are the so called “Blue Sheep”.
