synopsis

Sergei Dvortsevoy came across the subject of his first film while flying across the Kazakh steppe when by chance he noticed a small isolated community of nomadic herders. Gaining access to their world was not easy and shooting for this under-30-minute film required over three months and four cameramen. Despite this, he perfectly captured the everyday life of the steppe nomads, from routine tasks such as preparing meals, to unexpected, sometimes comic situations, to the moment when the camp must move on to greener pastures.
