    • Synopsis
    • In a remote valley in Pakistan at the Afghan border, the last 3000 Kalash live surrounded by the Muslim community and the Afghan refugees. At the announcement of the winter solstice, they pray, sing and dance for the rebirth of the seasons and their culture. Among them, a young woman must choose between converting to Islam, join the modern world or enable her tradition to continue. With the choice of her generation the eternal return of the seasons sanctified by Kalash could find an end. What will be the one of the young woman.
