a year in the taiga

A stunning documentary about the life of indigenous people living in the heart of the Siberian taiga. Deep in the wilderness, far away from civilization, 300 people inhabit the small village of Bakhtia at the river Yenisei. There are only two ways to reach this outpost: by helicopter or boat. There isn't any telephone, running water or medical aid. The locals, whose daily routines have barely changed over the last centuries, live according to their own values and cultural traditions

The village of Bakhta -- A good craftsman -- A year round job -- May celebrations -- Dugout -- Of fish, log cabins & mosquitos -- Ski making -- Driftwood and the Ket -- Summer's abundance -- Preparations for winter -- The river rises -- Of bears, dogs, and fishing -- Huts and traps -- Companion -- Village life in winter -- Primitive and sophisticated -- Of space, cold, and silence -- Holiday respite
