In the Gobi Desert, a family of herders face a crisis when one their camels refuses to nurse its calf.
The calf's cries are unbearable, and without its mother's milk it will die, so they arrange a traditional music ritual to reunite the pair.
This is a charming and unusual film, creating a fictional drama from mostly documentary footage.
However despite some moving scenes there's really only enough material for a short, so the film feels very slow.
