Bolormaa wove it from the last of her wool before an exceptionally hot summer and frigid winter killed off her flock, forcing her and her family to abandon their nomadic life in the mountains. Reluctantly, she sells the sweater to Alessandra, an Italian visitor who pays a small fortune for it and leaves her card, along with a promise of work in Italy. That brief encounter takes on enormous significance for Bolormaa and drives her search for a better life.

El destino de tres mujeres unido por un hilo rojo de cachemir, desde Mongolia y China hasta Italia. Un viaje peligroso animado por los sueños y la ilusión.
En el caleidoscopio de colores del mercado de Ordos, en China, hay uno que destaca por encima de todos. Es el rojo brillante y puro de un jersey de cachemir. Bolormaa lo ha tejido con la última lana de su rebaño, antes de que el verano excesivamente caluroso y el invierno excepcionalmente duro lo exterminaran y obligaran a su familia a abandonar la vida nómada en las montañas.
