Jiacizhuoma and Her Matriarchal Family

Aji Dolma is the fourth daughter of the second generation of the Caita family in Lushui Village, Lugu Lake. She lives in the Mosuo matriarchal family that still retains the custom of "marrying" between males and females. In 1993, by chance, she left home and went to the provincial capital Kunming. Since then, her fate has changed. At the same time, a large number of tourists poured into her village, which brought wealth to her hometown and also brought an impact on the culture here. Several versions of the film exist, with the earliest completed in 1998 and latest in 2005.
