An exploration from Mongolia to Central Asia, crossing the imaginary of a territory dominated by an artificial landscape. Home of the highest paved roads in the world, forgotten Soviet Union remains, valleys, and ghosts alongside the Gobi desert, resisting climate change—an adventure that explores human construction: the ancestral and nomadic shepherds that are about to disappear. Young people abandon transhumance to settle in cities, looking for progress they never had, only to find poverty and loneliness.
A review of the unregulated, fast-paced development, pollution, and environmental disasters, the life of the Aral Sea that disappeared, epic cultural and architectural remains of cities from a fallen empire, now ruins that were crossed by one of the most extraordinary emperors of universal history, the path of Temuyin, Genghis Khan.
A passage from the Silk Road that only a couple of decades ago used to be part of the former Soviet Union: Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
