"Kekexili" is one of the few films in recent years that really shocked people. Director Lu Chuan, a leader of new generation in Chinese film circles, proved his strength with cinematic language.
The film was shot in unpopulated Kekexili, where a relentless, harsh mountainous plateau in China's west is found. The vast, chilly area is called the Forbidden Zone for human beings.

The most spectacular scenes are of snow-covered mountains, glaciers, lakes, volcanic lava and simmering hot springs .
