Deep in Mongolia, among the free nomads of the north, lived a musician whose life was cursed.

One day, the ‘Wise Mother’ had a vision and she talked : ‘You will travel to the heart of the desert, bury your instrument there, and let it be forgotten. Only then will the spell be released’.
Following the vision, the musician left his people but nothing happened as it was supposed to.


English version

The movies was shot in Mongolia in the province of Karakolum. The director of the photography is Istvan Borbas (Songs from the Second Floor, World of Glory).

The conditions during the shooting   were  quite difficult conditions, the temperature ranged from 20 to -20 degrees with wind and snow, still, everything was finish on time.

Glass mat painting was used for special effects, the painter in charge was Mika that could paint on the glass while the temperature was around -20 and the siberian winds were whistling in our frozen ears.

The musician/actor Pugee was from the Karakolum area as well as 80 % of the Mongolia crew.

There are two versions of the movie : a breton version, an english version.
