Dir: Byambasuren Davaa
Cast: Babbayar Batchuluun, Nansal Batchuluun, Nansalmaa Batchuluun, Batchuluun Urindorj
Davaa follows up The Story of The Weeping Camel with another skilful blend of drama and documentary. This engaging portrait of life in a Mongolian nomad family hinges on the conflict between sheep-tending father Urjindorj and his little daughter Nansal, over a puppy she finds in the wild. Davaa focuses on specific details of the hardworking Batchuluuns’ everyday lives to illustrate their values and beliefs and tireless adaptation to nature.
