- In a far corner of Russia is a place called Mongun Taiga, which means "Silver Mountain". Here, where Siberian forest gives way to Mongolian steppe, one man is realizing a dream: to find ancient treasures of the Scythian Empire buried in the permafrost that has hidden and protected them for two thousand years. He also believes that Genghis Khan is buried there in Mongun Taiga. In the summer of 1994, Jeremy Pine, an American art dealer with an extravagant sense of romance and adventure organizes the 1st joint Russian - American expedition to Tuva in Central Asia. A few years before, the Iron Curtain had fallen. Now everything seems possible. "Ketchup in Tuva" is a Road Movie with astonishing characters and enchanting landscapes. This is the true story of an impossible journey.
- With its endless plains, deep forests and inaccessible mountain ranges, the Russian Empire never could have been built without horses. The animals were urgently needed for conquest, cultivation and transport well into the 20th century. And even today, they are an essential part of daily life in many regions of the vast Russian territory.
- The film is the story of the Kagai-ool family from Tuva. Tuva lies in Central Asia, in Siberia, not far from the Mongolian border. Mama and papa Kagai-ool live alone in a yurt, moving from the steppe to the forest and back several times a year. They have one horse, some sheep, goats and cattle. The entire Kagai-ool family depends on them in the coming winter. Their son Alexei is a stone carver and lives in the city of Kyzil but many things keep him tied to his home village. He is the modern nomad. City life does not prevent him from hearing the voices of the spirits who live in the stones he carves. The Kagai-ools are "in the arms of Buddha and the drum". Buddhism and shamanism have survived here in spite of the attempts of the communists to destroy people-s traditions and old beliefs. Buddha and the shaman are always present, even if the modern world has sometimes penetrated the traditional life stile.
