- Synopsis
- The last representatives of the nomadic life style in Anatolia, Sarikecililer for centuries migrated incessantly following the traces of their ancestors between suitable regions each season, just like the cycles of mother earth. This documentary aims to not only introduce the facets of migration of Anatolian nomads, but also conveys the cultural wealth of the Sarikecililer community with their tents, clothes, traditions, ancient facts regarding their livestock, games they play, rituals… While we witness their challenging struggle for life, we also observe the existence of a rich folklore and ethnography.
