Butter & Cheese is a short documentary film about a nomadic family who live in the highlands of Sikkim, India. Shot at an altitude of 14,500 feet above sea level, close to India-Tibet border, the film captures the unique lifestyle of the yak herders against the backdrop of the majestic Himalayan mountains, and the process of making yak dairy products such as butter and cheese. The nomadic couple, who belong to the Sherpa ethnic group, move with their semi-wild yaks as seasons change. Despite the harshness of terrain and weather, the yak-herders live a simple and contented life untouched by the complexities of the modern world.
