 Nature park "Ergaki" is becoming more and more popular every year as a place for active recreation, gradually turning into the next "Mecca" of Russia. According to various sources, about 2 to 3 thousand "guests" visit the "Sleeping Sayan Mountains".
But there is a problem: the majority of the people going to the mountains has not had even minimal preparation for it. Most of them not just can't tie a "sea knot", but can't even start a simple campfire. And, as is well known, the mountains do not forgive mistakes.

 A journey
In southwest Siberia in Tuva, between Mongolia and Altai, the mountain massif Mongun-Taiga spread its shoulders - the mountain ridges, glittering with glaciers of the Silver Mountain. It is a harsh land of wind-blown high-altitude meadows, stony slopes and icy rivers. Only strong and tough people survive here, Tuvans of Turkic roots, living a nomadic life with their herds of sheep and yaks. They are kind to their guests, but guests are rare - it is not an easy road to the remote mountain pastures. But those who had made the trip fell in love with the simple beauty of its wild nature and the people living in harmony with it.

 What makes a person happy? Americans were ranked 23 in the world in happiness in a 2005 New York Times article, 'A New Measure of Well-Being From a Happy Little Kingdom.'
Director Tom Shadyac ('Liar Liar' and 'Bruce Almighty') observed his neighbors and colleagues in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, and wasn't surprised at the ranking. He gave the article to Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Roko Belic and asked him to explore the subject in a film.
