The abundance of life

Werner Herzog's story of a Russian village of Bakhtia within the course of one year (and four distinctive seasons). The village is literally in the middle of nowhere, in taiga in the depths of Siberia where -33 degrees celsius is considered 'mild'. Anyways, it's a story of strong perseverance and the craftmanship of human beings. It's hard living out there, but you kind've envy these people, every day is about survival; hunting, picking berries, fishing, collecting food, living of the land, building shelter. Out there each man is his own man. And each man has a dog. What really impressed me were the final minutes of the movie where they show this dog running by its master 150 kilometres towards home on the frozen Yenisei River in the middle of the night.
