After a devastating sandstorm wrecks their ability to herd sheep, a Mongolian family must now move into Ulaanbaatar to find work, upending their family and their spiritual connection to the land. Gabrielle Brady’s film fuses searing documentary with re-creations that deepen the story.
Daava and Zaya raise their four children in the Gobi desert, where life is tough, but infused with meaning. Generations of shepherds before them have carried on this tradition, which they share with their children in the form of stories, and the work itself. But when a catastrophic sandstorm wipes out their herd, and faced with the inevitable, the family relocates to Mongolia’s largest city. There, life becomes complicated and alienating, as the family lives in temporary shelters on the outskirts of the city. Director Gabrielle Brady visited the family after their lives had been upended, and recreated their life before the storm, with devastating results.
