"When you see the snowstorm, it is a real snowstorm. It was in front of the camera and behind the camera. For nine months, we were on the trail of the real caravan. What you see on the screen is what we also experienced as filmmakers." Eric Valli

In a far-flung village in the Dolpo, in the North-Western Himalayas, at an altitude of five thousand meters, Tinle, a charismatic old chieftain, whose eldest son has just died, refuses to allow the young Karma to lead the yak caravan.

Karma goes against the oracles and Tinle's anger: before the ritual date he leads the caravan away followed by the young men from the village. On the day fixed by the gods Tinle, assisted by his second son Norbu the Lama, his grandson and his old companions decides against all reason to set off in his turn. Then the ancestral duel between man and mountain begins.[1]
