You Lucky Dog

In the wake of her mother’s passing, Lisa, a fast‑paced New York City fashion designer, swaps runway lights for the wide‑open sky of her family’s countryside property. The farm, once a quiet retreat, now hums with the rhythm of a working sheep ranch, offering a stark contrast to the glittering urban world she left behind. As she steps onto the land, the air is heavy with the scent of fresh hay, distant bleats, and the promise of a new beginning that feels both grounding and uncertain.

Her brother Jim has taken over the ranch, turning it into a thriving operation that balances tradition with his own pragmatic outlook. Their relationship is a blend of sibling familiarity and the subtle tension that comes from diverging life paths—Lisa’s creative flair meets Jim’s steady, down‑to‑earth sense of duty. Together they navigate the adjustments required when city‑slick sensibilities meet the rugged demands of farm life.

Amidst the rolling pastures, Lisa encounters a spirited border collie she names Lucky, whose keen intelligence and boundless energy spark an unexpected partnership. Together they begin the delicate art of training the dog as a sheepdog, a process that mirrors Lisa’s own journey of learning to trust, lead, and find her place within the rhythm of the land. The bond they forge is as much about mutual respect as it is about shared purpose, hinting at deeper connections that extend beyond human relationships.

The film unfolds with a gentle, yet resilient tone, weaving together themes of loss, renewal, and the unspoken language between humans and animals. It paints a portrait of a woman redefining herself against a backdrop of pastoral life, where every sunrise brings a fresh chance to mend old wounds and every herding call echoes the possibility of hope.
