A young itinerant photographer suggests a photoshoot with some Tibetan nomads, using unusual backdrops. We see a group of elderly women posing with children and animals against the backdrop of the Great Wall of China, or a family captured in front of an image of chaotic traffic, typical of a contemporary metropolitan environment. These images showcase a people and an entire country that are largely unknown despite being frequently featured in Western media.
