Two 19-year-olds set off for India, crossing the sclerotic Europe of the post-1968 era. They discover the Muslim world: Iran without the Ayatollahs, Afghanistan without the Taliban, and tribes in Pakistan that do not want to belong to Pakistan. They float through the mountains of the Hindu Kush, immerse themselves in the madness of Herat and Kabul, implode on the head of the Buddha of Bamiyan, and fall into ecstasy beneath the fantastic lakes of Band-e Amir before settling down to dream in the ruins of the Greek-Buddhist universe of Gandhara in the Pakistani “tribal area” of the Swat Valley.
An initiatory, political, poetic, and spiritual journey. A crazy adventure full of unforgettable images and extreme sensations.
A fascinating road movie of the 70s!.
