The story from a faraway village in Himalaya mountains where old chief of the village lost his son, who was the leader of the fleet, during yearly journey with salt from the mountains.But next winter is quickly coming and is is necessary to hit the road again. Who is going to be the next leader ?
Again nicely done nature movie showing differences in mans thinking. Old men who worship traditions and rituals and obey the will of gods against young man rely only on himself and obvious marks of wild nature.
The film doesn't give a solution but points on the fact that both traditions and common sense play important role in one's life. Also integration of people living in the wild nature and nature itself is shown.(old man knows when is his time to leave this world , speaking with an old yak ...) Other strange moment was when one yak from the fleet fell to the lake and old man said it was the will of bad spirits and the price for choosing the more difficult path.(everywhere man can see spirits instead of nature itself} Summary > All mentioned above are simple Buddhistic thoughts - so called dharmas and this movie shows it in a natural background.
