Synopsis:

A Mongolian camel rejecting its calf is an unlikely-sounding subject for a film that has taken the world by storm, spinning a beguiling web of detail to end in a surprisingly nail-biting finish. From that one simple, factual event, two student documentarists have created a moving, authentic and irresistible drama that lures viewers through thought-provoking exposition of the life, rituals and fortunes of a nomadic family teetering on the brink of the twenty-first century as they try to heal the rift between camel and calf.
