The Bakhtiar are the largest nomadic tribe in Iran. During the spring, they move en masse to summer pastures, where there is food and water for their livestock. When the pandemic struck and the government closed the roads, the nomads are trapped in their winter camp, with dry grass and no water. They need to find a way to get to the seasonal pastures.
