The fascination of the mysterious, the unfamiliar, the exotic: monks and hunters in the harsh desert of Tibet, as well as English interventionist troops and fur-traders. A young Mongolian is cheated, puts up a fight, gets caught up between the two parties in the conflict and survives thanks to a mysterious document.
A fairy tale from remote worlds and times, full of mysterious images, ritual dances and wild hunting scenes. The unknown world of the desert landscape and the strange-looking dwellings of the indigenous inhabitants point beyond mere illustration, thereby acquiring a dramaturgic significance that is steeped in even more secrets thanks to its faraway exoticism. The film's protagonist is particularly fascinating: with his temperament and ingenuousness, he survives unusual situations, which always contain surprising turns. The turbulent, furious finale of the film is famous: the actors are virtually swallowed up and disappear in a huge tornado of human beings and elements nature.
