It uses a conflict between the Humar and Hadysha families, as a result of a fatal accident, to showcase the Kazak experience and journey over the past 40 years in China.
Visitors may marvel at the natural beauty of the grasslands where the Kazak live. But for Zhou Jun, the director of the film, "it is the only compensation for the herders' hard lives".
The film, generally speaking, shows both picturesque views and the Kazak herders' lives.
As the saying goes, "The Kazak walk the most in the world, and they migrate the most."
Migration, which was necessary for the Kazak, was a painstaking task as herders had to face bad weather, rough roads and other difficulties on their long journeys, which would often be several hundred kilometers.
From Zhou's perspective, the Kazak are stoic, introverted and profound. "Toughness and fortitude can be found in everyone."
