The Chinese term An Ju (安居) means “living in peace and contentment.”

This observational short follows a Tajik family in southern Xinjiang, where government housing policies encourage settlement for mountain residents.

Torn between modern stability and nomadic roots, one man turns to traditional music, crafting and playing the Rubab, to find harmony amid change.
