The Tsangaan people have lived in no-man's-land since ancient times. Now, only one person represents the entire nation. Rumors of the last Tsangaan reach a naive young man, an anthropology student, who decides to venture into the unknown wilderness to find the Tsangaan.

Although the young man initially feels like a stranger in the Tsangaan's mystical world, he gradually discovers many layers within himself that connect him to the new environment. He finds that he becomes closer to the last Tsangaan with each passing day, leaving more and more of his past life and personality behind.

"TSANGAAN.", a short film by Isabel Laiapea (screenwriter-director), a directing student at TÜ Viljandi Culture Academy, explores the relationships between humans and nature, as well as themes of identity and self-discovery.
Laiapea has got inspiration for the film from Mati Unt's short story "The Philologist's Desperate Step" and Mehis Heinsaar's novel "The Lost Tribe."

The nature-themed film, shot at Karuskose farm and around it in Soomaa, was created in collaboration with students and alumni from TÜ Viljandi Culture Academy and BFM.
