Himalaya, la terre des femmes

Siting at nearly 4,000 meters in elevation, Sking is one of the most remote villages in the Himalayan region of Zanskar. For three months, from August to October, the Zanskaris must harvest and store all the food they will need for the coming year. Women of all ages work continuously, from early morning until nightfall, while also worrying about the arrival of winter. Filmed using a subjective camera perspective by a young female ethnologist, *Land of Women* provides a sensitive and poetic look into the lives of four generations of women during the harvest season. The film allows viewers to experience their rare moments of intimacy and gradually form an emotional connection with them.
