Happy People: A Year in the Taiga
The director of Cave of Forgotten Dreams and Grizzly Man takes you on an epic journey into the heart of the Siberian wilderness
In the center of the story is the life of the indigenous people of the village Bakhtia at the river Yenisei in the Siberian Taiga.

The natives, whose daily routines have barely changed over the last centuries, keep living their lives according to their own cultural traditions.
