Similar situation is described in the movie"Intoarcerea Vlasinilor/The Returning of the Vlachs,where an ambitious shepherd thinks that cooperating with the Austrians would bring him and his community a lot of good things,by disobeying the fair,standstill laws.
The action takes place in the 18th' Transylvania,a period of unrest in the shepherd communities,although very calculated and ambitious in his wit,Vranga understands that he cannot move things the way he wants,the Austrians had only wanted to use him,after all,and decides to go south of the Danube with his sheep's for some commerce in the Ottoman lands;
the Greek merchants agree on a very good price,yet they ask for really lots of sheeps,here we can find again the theme from Miorita,the man must call a herder from Vrancea that has endless amount,yet,although they seemed to have agreed,this one is missing in the day of the big transaction................
