Synopsis


Asiemut chronicles the 8000 km journey of Olivier Higgins and Mélanie Carrier.[2][3] [4][5]

Riding their bicycles and pedaling through Asia, Olivier and Mélanie traveled from Mongolia to Kolkata, at the mouth of the Ganges in India, passing through Xinjiang, the Taklamakan Desert, Tibet and Nepal. Along the way, they discover the world, but over all, they discover themselves. Who are they? What do they want? What is their place in this world? Maybe, between the encounters, obstacles and the discovery, this daring journey made them reflect... Do we not all have a common "Asiemut"?


Significance of the title


"Asiemut" is a variation on the word azimuth, the direction taken when following a compass, or metaphorically, the direction taken when following one's life journey, together with an allusion to the continent of Asia where the journey was made.[6]


Impact


The film inspired Bill and Stephanie A. Frans to undertake their own long-distance cycle journey.[7]


Awards


Asiemut has won 35 awards in film festivals around the world,[1][8] such as the "Oscar of the Oscar" of mountain and adventure films in 2008 in Italy.[9] Asiemut was part of the Banff World Tour and has been screened in more than 40 different countries.
