At the foothils of the third highest mountain in the world, Kanchenjonga, in the heart of the Indian state of Sikkim, there is an area called Dzongu, a reserve established by the king of Sikkim to protect the lifestyle of Lepchas, original inhabitants of this state. This film is a result of a filed research conducted by a student of the University of Ostrava. It depicts the everyday life of Lepchas and presents their diverse culture and their relation with the Sikkimese landscape, which they regard sacred. (Mezinárodní festival outdoorových filmů)
