“Things today are not as they were yesterday nor as they will be tomorrow”. This sentence summarizes the despair and resignation of the ex fishermen of Muynag, a small town on the ex shores of the Lake Aral. The village, by now abandoned, and his inhabitants are victims of an unstoppable environmental disaster which has been taking place for decades.
