Sagan Dalja

a film by Thomas Bartels

Sagan Dalja is a herb, dried leaves of a rhododendron species that grows high up in the mountains. Boiled as tea it is very stimulating. Many generations of shamans used it in their rituals to set their spirits to travel. They named it White Wings.

This film is such a journey. It starts from Irkutsk bustling megacity on Lake Baikal with pedestrian zone, graffiti and street musicians and it leads out to the Tuvinian taiga.
