Like Cave of the Yellow Dog and The Story of the Weeping Camel, this fine family adventure is set amid the fabulously beautiful Mongolian wilderness. Twelve-year old nomad, Bazarbai is deeply envious when his brother leaves to find work in the city. Then when Bazarbai loses his father’s prized eagle he decides its time to take off in search of them both. Seizing the opportunity for an adventure of a lifetime, he crosses the snow-covered mountains, falls in with the circus and finds that city life is not all that he dreamed. Suitable for 8 years old up, this glimpse into a totally different world will be enjoyed by parents and children alike.

“There’s something inherently calming about films set in the Mongolian wilderness . . ; its gentle pace proves a very welcome antidote to the frantic nature of our own lives.” Time Out
