With magnificent camerawork, Australian director Gabrielle Brady tells the story of the rural exodus in Mongolia caused by climate change. A young couple, Daava and Zaya, come from a generation of herders and are raising their four children the way they themselves grew up: with a close connection to nature and the animals with whom they share their lives. A severe sandstorm leaves devastating consequences that make livestock farming impossible. They have to move to the city to find work, like so many before them. There they live in a crowded yurt settlement on the outskirts of the city. They are moving further and further away from their beloved pastoral life and traditional culture and yearn to return home.
