L'oro dell'Himalaya - La vita nomade in Ladakh
Gold of the Himalayas - The nomad life in Ladakh
Changpa. Only a very few people live at this altitude, in an landscape sculpted by air and wind, where the soil is arid and animals fight over the smallest patch of grass on which to feed. The film tells the story of 19-year-old Norbu, who returns home from the capital of Ladakh to introduce his parents to his young girlfriend. Forming the backdrop of this and other stories are breathtaking panoramas, from the frozen streams of early spring, to the winter snowfall that forces the animals to huddle together for warmth to survive.
