Only 7% of Kalmykia’s population has access to clean drinking water. It is the most arid region of Russia. But Badma, a local herder, does not fight against nature — he lives in harmony with it. Following Buddhist practices and the traditions of his nomadic people, he aligns his daily life with the rhythms of the steppe and preserves a sense of resilience where it seems impossible to find.
