The owners of herds of sheep, cattle, horses and camels are on their way to another pasture. The trip is filled with cold, hunger, tiredness and danger. And ignorance may lead to loss of property and even life.

This is how the Kazak people migrated in the old days. It was done according to the growth circle of the grass, and to ensure that their livestock had plenty to eat all the year round.

But now, with rising living standards, there are villages for nomadic herders, enabling them to settle down.

Fade Away Pastoral, a feature film focusing on changes in Kazak life-from arduous migration to settlement, premiered in Beijing recently.

"It is a visual feast and reflects the progress on the grassland," says Gao Huanggang, chief producer of the film.
