The documentary "Taraz" is about a group of nomads in Bakhtiari alley who live in two provinces of Khuzestan (tropical region) and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari (cold region) every year according to the hot and cold seasons. The group, which spends seven months of the year in an area north of Masjid Suleiman (Andika), migrates from this area to their summer territory on the southern slopes of Zardkuh in late April.
