The Valley of The Ancestors
(Dolina predkov)

by Kadyrjan KYDRYLALIYEV

A village in the mountains of Kirghizie is on the verge of becoming completely deserted. But some sparks of life can still be found in this historic region. In spite of everything, the elderly Saïkal and Tchoro continue to respect their traditions. Young Saky is attracted by the villages in the valley, but hesitates to leave his companions. With the lone family camel, he leaves to find himself a bride who will accept to live with him in the mountains.
