The karabu storm, a desert wind of Xinjiang that carries ice in winter and stones in summer, frames three love stories. Zhang Ziyu, a stranger in Jinghe, a small town below the Tianshan and Alatau mountains, has spent three years going alone into the desert to meet the storms. Yehaiya, engaged to Meng Kai after eight years together, notices him. At a colleague's wedding the lonely newcomer is coaxed into singing the Kazakh folk song 'The Swallow', and the next day he and Yehaiya disappear together into the desert. The lives of three young men and three young women and their families unfold from the deserts of the west to the big cities, interwoven with the life of the explorer Sven Hedin.
