Year after year, just after the monsoon season has finished, thousands of families travel to a bleak desert in Gujerat, India, where they will stay for an endless eight months and extract salt from the earth, using the same painstaking, manual techniques as generations before them. Director Farida Pacha spent a season with one of these families, observing the very particular rhythms of their lives.

Very little dialect, obviously nothing I could understand

Very little dialect, obviously nothing I could understand but I was absolutely mesmerized by this documentary. Must see ....

One of the most mundane, yet beautifully shot

One of the most mundane, yet beautifully shot documentaries I've ever seen. The subject matter is relatively boring in itself (harvesting salt). Yet, the pacing, framing, and editing of the film makes it a breathtaking watch from start to finish.

Pure cinematic gold. A quietly absorbing, intimate portrait

Pure cinematic gold. A quietly absorbing, intimate portrait of hard-working humble Indian families who spend 8 months of the year harvesting "the world's whitest salt" in the Gujarati desert. The film tells the story without intrusive narration; as a result the physical elements of the task have an unalloyed impact missing from, say, a Hollywood explosion. The ravishing cinematography reveals the stark beauty of an otherwise forbidding desert, carrying the simple yet profound narrative concept into the realm of art. Should be required viewing for first-world children.
