Eastern Memories
Eastern Memories is an unexpected road movie about the Far East, from Mongolia to Japan. Present and past are seamlessly intertwined in a visually stunning journey about adventure and discovery, love and death, conspiracies and the fall of nations. The experiences and observations of Finnish linguist and diplomat Gustaf John Ramstedt (1873-1950) are cited in diary-form, complemented by images of modern Asia.
