In June of the year 1162, in a covered wagon moving over the Mongolian prairie, Hoelun (Mayumi Wakamura), wife of Yesugei-Baatar (Naoki Hosaka), chief of the Borjigin tribe, is about to give birth to her first child. War is intensifying among the various Mongol tribes, with the women of those defeated in battle being seized as property by the victors. Hoelun herself was the wife of a man in the Merkit tribe, and was carried off by Yesugei. Now to Yesugei, who has just defeated the Tatars, comes the news that he has a son. Temujin, the future Genghis Khan, has been born.
