Synopsis: Bayan-Ulgii. At the foot of the Mongolian Altai Mountains lies a region where Kazakh nomads live. While some families still continue their traditional nomadic lifestyle, others have migrated to the cities due to desertification. How do the parents and children feel and live in the traditional way of life that is being lost? I lived with them and explored their current situation.

Bio: After graduating from the Osaka City University Faculty of Human Life Science, I joined a local educational institution in the resettlement area near Manila to work in vocational training. Over the course of four years, I held the position of a trainer primarily responsible for designing training curricula. Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I embarked on a journey to explore remote corners of the world, documenting my experiences through documentary videos.
