The Gathering documents the annual round-up of the endangered wild Carneddau mountain ponies in Wales. It is organized by local farmers and is the only intervention in the lives of the ponies, who otherwise graze undisturbed in their protected mountain habitat. The film follows the event from close up and becomes increasingly entangled in the complex dynamics of capturing and caring for them.
