Synopsis

Two brothers' search for the truth takes them from the cliffs of Ireland to the mountains of Tibet, into the cold of death and into the mystery of love. Where do we come from? Where are we going?

These have always been central questions of the philosophical and religious worlds - the attempt to find answers to them has been the plaything out of which social/religious systems have been created, destroyed and rebuilt - but ultimately they remain unanswered to this day.

To find out, two brothers embark on a metaphysical journey from the Irish Horse Island to the "Flying Mountain" in Kham/China. For one, it ends with a fulfilled death, for the other with the realisation that his path in life has not yet been explored.
