Codirected by Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, this irresistibly touching film received an Oscar nomination. It centers on a ritual among Mongolian nomadic herders in which music is used to convince a mother camel not to reject her young. The bonds between humans, animals, and the nature that both threatens and nourishes them has rarely been so movingly depicted. (Dir.: Byambasuren Davaa and Luigi Falorni, Germany/Mongolia, 2003, 87 min., Mongolian with English subtitles)
