| Summary: | The story of a man who long ago left his birthplace at the foot of the Black Mountains, lured away by the magic of big city life. Now he nostalgically remembers his childhood spent in the raw beauty of the mountains of Kyrgyzstan and searches for signs of the traditional nomadic life of his forefathers. Scenes from the peaceful life of days long gone by, living in tents and in close communion with nature, are contrasted with the anonymous, busy outskirts of the town, full of wandering dogs and run-down houses. |
