A perilous journey through blizzards and icy roads at death-defying altitudes to deliver mandarins.
Mandarin oranges are a prized commodity in Tajikistan, taken as a symbol of good fortune.
Two drivers from Kyrgyzstan risk their lives on dangerous roads to bring a truckload to the neighbouring Central Asian country - a 413-kilometre journey in a small, 30-year-old truck through 4,000 metre-high mountains.
Kuban and Duysha begin their adventure in Osh, Kyrgyzstan's second-largest city. If the mandarins don't freeze in the cargo hold, they will be sold for scarcely more than the cost of the duo's perilous journey through blizzards and icy roads, at death-defying altitudes.
