- Chingis is a leader of three. A homeless idol figure, accompanied by his girlfriend Chimgee and his friend, the blind Battulga. All three of them are inhabitants of Ulan Bators unknown subterranean world. The canalization and their warming structures at night. Poverty is cruel everywhere, but in the Mongolian capital, the cruelty didn't evolve only from historical, social or political foundations - the sheer climate in this city offers something very different. Shaping human existence in a strange reality of modern urban life - surviving with temperatures at minus 40 degrees. The human holes of Ulan Bator present a chosen few, who manage to continue their lives, while they are physically forced underground, away from common society. The one living literally above their heads. The documentary is meant to present the homeless inhabitants of Mongolia's capital and combine their personal stories with the disconnected, pragmatic view of involved citizens and their ineffective social projects. Political stands and historical facts will be implemented in the comparison between the portraits of those people and the felt out facts of this unusual reality in a modern world. The images and faces of the people involved in these harsh conditions are the reason this film will effect common negligence in a different, abstract way. Since poverty is not just a social byproduct of common western life - but a twisted example of its marginal inconsequence.
