- Summary:
- Story of a man trying to adjust to the shifting realities of the modern world and how he can retain within his family a sense of place as fences begin to cross the once-open plain. For generations, these plains provided ample grazing for his people's yak herds. Looking into the life of 30-year-old Choegatar, father and provider, we are invited into a world where the temptations of the town intrude. Synthetic fibre is replacing wool, and a man needs capital. This is an honest portrayal of life changing, all against the backdrop of unrivalled personal and natural beauty.
