Credits
Director: NA
Cinematographer: Hermann Schlenker
This useful film reveals in crisp detail the simple, but physically demanding domestic life of the nomadic Pushtu — no cleansers, no appliances, and no concern for “rough, red, hands.” The unveiled and weathered face of the Pushtu wife — cloaked in her traditional garment as she prepares and kneads the precious flour into dough — reflects the relentlessness of her environment.
