Join Fanny Ziegfield, the Kalinka Sisters and Lady Windermere (Delphine Seyrig in her final film role) aboard the Transsiberian Express - from where they’re taken hostage by the Mongol warriors of Princess Ulan Iga. Out on the steppes, hunting, herding, riding, singing and worshipping, it’s the Western world that seems remote and strange in this magical tale.
