Karsha A small village situated on a plateau of the Himalayas at 4,000 meters (in the valley of Zanskar, north-eastern province of India), people's lives is punctuated by the arrival of winter that insulates them for eight months. The Indian government has launched the construction of a road along the river to the entrance of the valley, "Chaddar road". Through conversations, the people of Karsha unveil their lives, their expectations of the end of their isolation through this route. They enjoy the last days before the arrival of snow, and go about their business: men weave, women make fuel reserves, the children carry the manure in the fields ..., others involved in the construction roads that will link their villages to Chaddar Road. Religious rituals are performed to protect the houses before winter. Other events, like weddings and a funeral, take place. When winter is here, a sort of hibernation begins for the villagers, faced with supply problems and displacement. Parties still take place during the new year and change of master of ceremonies. Once a year to go sell and buy commodities at Laddak, villagers get together and go on a dangerous seven-day expedition along the frozen river.
