    • Synopsis
    • Takeshi, a rich and spoiled young Japanese man with no direction in life, is sent by his grandfather, a business mogul, on a quest to the steppes of Outer Mongolia in search of his long-lost daughter.
      Guided by Amaraa, a Mongolian horse thief, the mismatched duo embark on a surreal adventure into the saturated colors of the endless countryside. This road trip of surprising encounters and experiences becomes a rite of passage for Takeshi, as he discovers a way of life never before imagined.
      When Amaraa is arrested by the police, Takeshi is forced to leave his past self behind and fend for himself, guiding him towards his lost relative, a new identity, and a true sense of freedom.
