Synopsis
A look at the beautiful countryside of Kirgizstan, as seen through the eyes of two of its people. Bubush Alayeva is an old widow who lives by herself in a remote yurt. Rysbek Jumabayev is a poet-singer who performs traditional songs about Kirgiz mythology. As old as their traditional way of life is, Westernization is apparent, even here, in the presence of a large Canadian gold mining operation, which is exploiting the landscape's natural resources.
