Summary Once, at the time of the great Genghis, half the world trembled before the slaughtering men from the meadow. His descendants make the ground tremble at feasts at most. Every year in July the wild riders of the Mongolian steppe people meet for the "Naadam" in the nowhere of the high plateau between the foothills of the Gobi desert and the Russian border in the north. The tradition of the festival goes back to Genghis Khan, is a symbol of freedom, homage to the gods of the "horse people" and a kind of perseverance slogan for one of the most backward regions of the world. "The Mongols," wrote Marco Polo about 700 years ago, "can live without supplies for a whole month. Of all the people in the world, they are most able to endure great efforts and hardships. The wasteland of the Mongolian plateaus has always been a forbidden, lost land for the Russian tsars as well as for the red dragons in the south, and it's ruled by demons and evil spirits. The film is an insight into the world of the descendants of the wild horde, who once marauded with fire and sword to the gates of Vienna, where almost half of the world known at that time had been ruled.
