| Summary: | Verzio FF
Two American filmmakers follow the wanderings of a nomadic ethnic group in Northern India, in Rajasthan, in the Thar Desert. A series of short interviews, with minimal narration, carries the viewer through the life of communities which travel from village to village as their living space is narrowed down as a consequence of advancing modernity. The film presents the traditional activities of different tribes: the snakecharmers, storytellers, musicians, metalworkers, salt traders and dancers. |
