"A film of complex contradictions beneath its surface serenity...Ravishing, ecologically resonant" -- Variety
Connecting China and Europe, the Tea-Horse Road is the highest and most perilous of the world's ancient routes, and to this day still shows vibrant signs of life. Venerated 5th Generation director Tian Zhuangzhuang filmed Delamu over a twelve-month period in the remote border region of Yunnan Province and Tibet. Alternately wrenching and moving, the film follows the incredible lives and cultures of people living in the shadow of the Tea-Horse Road.
