影片以马夫行走崎岖艰险的“茶马古道”为线索，娓娓道来沿途（重点位于云南、四川、西藏境内的横断山脉）居民的生活。不卑不亢的原著居民向观众幽幽讲述着，发生在这片广袤高远的天籁之地里的故事。没有旁白去解说，也没有夸张的煽情，一切都在固定镜头质朴的记录下悄然发生又默默结束，自然 而然。正如导演对影片的诠释一样：“居住在这里的民族，就像高原的山脉一样，不卑不亢，充满了传奇般的色彩，与自然和谐地并存—我们这些从外边来的人，只能仰视他们、欣赏他们、赞美他们—这里能给你一种力量，一份祥和及发自内心的喜悦，他们并不会因为你的赞美而改变自己。”导演田壮壮荣获2004年中国电影华表奖优秀数字电影奖。

The film begins with the title Chorokbam filling the screen, which is amazing to see. This is the very moment at which the audience decides to trust this film without hesitation. In terms of how to fill and empty the square frame, the film is bold and skillful. Chorok, meaning green in English, is the color of fate in this movie. The problems of all the family members a hopeless father who works as a night guard, a mother who is completely exhausted with house works, a poor son who works for the disabled and their funeral ceremony are all dominated by the color, green. It is not bright or fancy but dark and scary in some sense. With attractive images and scenes, the film develops a series of worldly episodes of a family up to the level of poetic sentiment of blues and depression. (JUNG Hanseok)
