It isn't often that I go to see a Mongolian film - in fact this is a first! Delightful is the best word to describe this documentary about a family of five living a nomadic life. This is a way of life that will surely become extinct before long. The plot is minimal but shows how the family copes with herding and living, picking up a few Mongolian folk stories along the way, and a dog that turns out to be a hero (of course!). Extremely enjoyable and fascinating stuff. The family are so natural and non-Hollywood - something to be admired!

Once again, you're spot on Steve! I only actually went to see this because you gave it a positive review. Otherwise I would have thought it too arty for me. But it's so sweet!
