Between Pakistan and Persia, an archaic "island": the country of the Kafiris.
People who seem modeled on the typology of the Persian bas-reliefs of Ciro and Darius, lives in strange cities built in terraces on the side of the mountains: they use Hellenistic furnishings, build houses that recall the palace of Xerxes, write with vaguely wedge-shaped characters.
Their activity and their environment are the subject of this scientific documentary.
