The endless desert advances towards the village in surprising speed, nibbling at the houses on the edge of it. Where several hundred families used to live, now there is only one – Wei Guangcai and his wife. Living in one of the worst-hit areas affected by desertification in China, this man stands his ground against the sand pushing him away from his home, enduring the forces of nature and the winds of loneliness.
