SYNOPSIS
On the frozen lake surface of Qinghai Lake, Buddhism practitioners are delivering supplies to the temple built on the isolated island at the lake centre. At their own peril, the practitioners venture on the melting glaciers resulted from global warming. Sadly, the wildlife around Qinghai Lake suffers the same fate. Jian Mu-cuo is one of the heroes who came to the rescue of the wildlife surrounding the lake. All his acts were simply for the humble wish of enabling his son to witness and enjoy the same prairie where he grew up. When he came across an orphan Przewalski's gazelle, he didn't hesitate to look after it like his own son. Yet, could Jian Mu-cuo indeed save the life of these 'sons'of Mother Nature to alter the future of his own son?
