"Spring, summer, autumn, winter ... and again spring"

This interesting film has a rather strange name, and he tells us that no one has the opportunity and the right to violate the seasons.

Change the course of life can not anyone, even two monks who live in a floating hut surrounded by mountains.

When the new season comes, the souls of these people are filled with vital energy, and this leads them immediately to spirituality and tragedy.

When a guy is going on the road, he still does not even realize that on the way he will meet many interesting personalities, among whom is a monk, a paper maker and his enchanted daughter, as well as an apple dealer.

An experienced monk will tell the main character a story about the life of Tasha's boyfriend, who will amaze the young man. The unique story of jealousy and passion, as well as a rather tragic denouement - all this will make Dondup think about whether life is really so good when you are very far from your home.
