During a journey across the Mongolian steppes, explorer-photographer Yoshiharu Sekino meets Pujee, a 6-year-old nomad girl. The two instantly make friends, forming a long-lasting bond despite initial diffidence and profound differences. In a delicate, often touching manner, Kazuya Yamanda documents Pujee growing up in an uncontaminated world. Strong and determined for her young age, Pujee is already an essential part of her family, whose livelihood and survival, like those of other nomad groups, are seriously threatened by the change to a market economy.
Kazuya Yamada (b. 1954, Kochi, Japan) earned a degree in agrarian sciences at the University of Tokyo. After studying communication at the School of Fine Arts, Temple University, Philadelphia, USA, he worked as free lance TV director for Tak Inagaki Production, New York, and Nippon Television Network. Documentaries to his credit include I Love My Town Kobe (1996), Physically Challenged: Can't End Up Like This 2000 Days to Independence (2003), as well as numerous award-winning reportages for major Japanese TV networks.
“Every day, in every corner, in every scene streaming past the window to which no passenger gives a thought, people are meeting, affecting and changing each other, and being propelled in new directions. This is the significance of ‘meeting’ and ‘changing’, and I hope the film succeeds in expressing that.”
