It rises in a particularly hostile region of the world, and peaks at 5600 meters. It is there, in a mine inaccessible to any vehicle, where oxygen is lacking, in an icy cold, that bloom fascinating crystals of seawater, of a deep blue. At this dizzying height, for six months a year, shepherds who have become miners artisanally extract these huge crystals under the protection of a Shaman soothing the rage of the fairies that haunt these mountains. This film will immerse you in an extraordinary human adventure where cold, disease, conflicts handled by popular courts, the joy of discovery, beliefs are the daily life of these minors. You can follow day by day, Murtaza, a man who does not hesitate to make a long way to sell his discoveries. The destination of his trip, Peshawar, which is a city not far from Afghanistan where all trade is possible. It is at a merchant in this city that you will discover his treasure and many others. From this extreme point of Pakistan, the most beautiful seaweeds leave to be carved and mounted on precious jewels like those of Lorenz Baümer, Place Vendôme in Paris.
