A short documentary from Turtuk about life along borders in the northernmost village of Ladakh, made during my stay with a Balti family. Bilqis, who is 26 and a mother of two, would walk past the line of cosmos in her garden collecting herbs for breakfast. Soon she would be joined by her daughters Nadia and Nazifa playing hide and seek amongst the flowers.
After breakfast we would go out harvesting apricots. Soon her husband Ali would come to help us after work, who is one of the local guide.
so many stories of separation from the village but life goes on as usual. Children going to school past stone-walled houses with colourful wooden doors down to fields of buckwheat and barley. And once the sun sets, the only sound will be of the constant gurgling Shyok river flowing downhill.
