What Ulzhan Is About

Charles, a Frenchman, sets out after a treasure on the endless steppes of Central Asia; he has a fragment of an old map. But what he is looking for is neither fame nor fortune; the man is only looking for a way to bind his own wound. On the road he comes across Ulzhan, and she feels something the first time she sees him. The film tells the journey not as an adventure but as the distance a person travels in order to face his own loss. The steppe here is not scenery but the emptiness that leaves the man alone with himself. Philippe Torreton plays the lead in Volker Schlondorff’s hundred and five minute film, completed in 2007.
