Somewhere in the endless steppes of Central Asia lies a treasure. One man holds the key to it, a fragment of an ancient map. But in his restless quest, Charles isn't looking for fame or glory. He's looking for a way to heal his wounded soul. He meets a young woman named Ulzhan in a small town. Despite Charles’s dogged determination to travel alone – Ulzhan leaves everything behind and follows him into the mountains. Filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff places his tortured and enigmatic main character against a vast canvas. Stunningly photographed, Ulzhan intertwines myth, magic and mystery while taking us across the raw terrain of not merely Kazakhstan, but the human soul as well.
