This is an unknown story from distant mountains. Lone person of Sengge is a weirdo of the township, and his profession is a pickpocket. He lives a life of silence, regularity, poetry, and even dumbness. Nobody in the town cares about him, and people call him “the poet” without even remembering his name. His life slightly changes when he meets bargirl Zhi’na. Two lonely and wandering people fall into romance, and decide to leave together... The film focuses on the life of young Tibetan people. It illustrates, with roughly textured cinematic styles, the wilderness of Tibetan regions and the daze of youth in this generation of Tibetans.
