Historical epic that covers the early life of the legendary Mongolian leader Genghis Khan (Tadanobu Asano). The first part of a planned trilogy, the film focuses on the future ruler's brutal childhood, as he suffers starvation and slavery, through to the battle that would cement his power. Inspired by a poem translated from the Chinese that supposedly tells of Khan's formative years, director Sergei Bodrov ('Prisoner of the Mountains') offers a multidimensional portrait of the conqueror, focusing on the deep relationship he had with his beloved Borte (Khulan Chuluun) who was not only his wife but his most trusted advisor.
Antti Jokinen directs this Finnish-language drama following the relationship that develops between two Eastern European women of different generations who have suffered immense hardships.

Zara and Aliide have never met before, with the only connection between the two a photograph of the young Aliide (Laura Birn) Zara was passed by her mother. However, as the two women get to know each other, the story of Aliide's troubled history during Stalin's ruthless reign emerges and a bond begins to grow between the two as the past speaks to the present.
