Depicts a segment of the life of the Jie, a seminomadic people who inhabit the grasslands of northwestern Kenya. Follows the move during the dry seasons from their homestead to a temporary camp (nawi) where grass is plentiful for their cattle. Shows preparations for the 60-mile trip and scenes from the slow journey, including herding cattle, bathing at the waterhole, resting under trees, and spending the evening within a thornbush kraal. Conveys the pastoral, timeless quality of an almost other worldly; existence. No narration, subtitles translate native conversation and songs
