Set in a nomad shepherd´s camp in the Southern Kazakhstan mountains Chastie is a portrait of the simple life of the Kazakhs. Not a conventional documentary, it is a lyrical film which looks for the beauty in everyday life. Having come across a tiny hamlet lost in the steppes of Kazakhstan by chance when flying over it, the film maker felt the need to get to know it intimately and to take the necessary time to shoot the film. Chastie is both an ethnographical poem about the region and a declaration of love for life.
