A young nomadic couple, Davaa and Zaya, live in the Mongolian desert with their four children, sheep and horses. Their loving and harmonious lifestyle is threatened by unpredictable weather, and encroaching animal predators.

Forced to make the heartbreaking decision to uproot themselves and move to the city, the family must quickly adjust. In this foreign terrain, they band together, all the while haunted by dreams of their herding past and ancestral homeland.

From the director of Island of the Hungry Ghosts, this docufiction provides a confronting look at their lives and proves that climate change can affect even the world’s most remote areas.

“An exquisite, melancholy ode to a lost way of life from this multi-award-winning filmmaker…” ~Madison Marshall, NZIFF
