Springtime in the Gobi Desert. A family of nomads assist in the births
of its camel herds. They face a crisis when one white calf is rejected
by its mother after a particularly difficult birth. When all hope seems
lost, the family sends its two young boys on a journey to a far-off village
to fetch a musician capable of performing a magical ceremony. A work that
combines hard-hitting truth with uplifting drama. The film's sweeping
vistas and magical photography capture the very essence of this part of
the world, while its emotionally charged story of seperation and reconciliation
reminds us that the heart, whether human or animal, knows no borders.
