(37 mins) Yannick Boissenot, France, NZ Premiere.
This film takes us deep into the Tavan Bogd massif, nestled in the Mongolian Altai Mountains. Camille Armand, Pierre Hourticq, and Victor Daviet share a common passion — not only for the mountains, but also for exploring remote and unfamiliar lands. Tavan Bogd — literally “The Five Sacred Mountains” — refers to a group of peaks steeped in symbolism and legend. For two weeks, a yurt will serve as their base camp, allowing them to explore this little-known massif on skis and snowboards. But what are they really looking for in these mountains?
