In the Mongolian countryside, a young nomadic couple, Daava and Zaya, build their lives around their herd of animals, whom they love and cherish as much as their four children. When they lose their camp and half their animals in a devastating sandstorm, the family is forced to make a life-changing decision. They move to the city of Ulaanbaatar and set up their yurt in the ger district where many former herders like them now take refuge. Daava, having sold his treasured stallion before making the trip, struggles to fit in at a gravel factory.

In this urgent yet gentle and often gorgeous docu-fiction hybrid, Gabrielle Brady examines the effects of climate change through a tale of lost innocence. Davaasuren Dagvasuren and Otgonzaya Dashzeveg, the subjects and co-writers of the film, bring earnest nuance to the unpredictable relationship between man and nature.
