Second chapter of the "minimum epic" of Olga Valcauda, shepherd in the Biellese region. After a synthesis of spring transhumance, the "afternoon equinox" catches Olga in the summer hill country preparing lunch, while down in the village her old mother is busy with the cooking and the fusioning of handmade soap. Afternoon is getting by under an impending storm; Olga is pasturing the flock, irrigating the meadow, doing slight works. Clouds are thickening and the woman is waiting for the rain with her dog Baldi.
