Meet Raj and his little brother, both around 10 years old. They accidentally left their camels untied for too long, and go on a search to find them in the wild desert. Meet Surumnat, the person who people call when a venomous snake is in town.

Meet many more people who live with nature, and for whom music and dancing are what bind all activities together. For everyone, of all ages.

While not ‘having much’ according to most people’s standards, the people in this documentary are able to live fully, modestly, and focus on what’s most important to them.

India stole my heart. This documentary made me be even more in awe. And I got to know more about the country I’m absolutely sure I will visit again.
