I watched this movie for the second time last night. It is an amazing view into the life of a nomadic Mongolian family. The events occur over a few days, and as the movie starts, it has a documentary feel. A very subtle story unfolds as one of the children brings home a stray dog. The family has a great appreciation for the land they live upon, and the oldest child, who can be no more than six or seven, bears a great amount of responsibility for her age. This is one you can watch with the kids. Some audience members may want to cover their eyes as the father skins a sheep that was killed by wolves, but there are no violent scenes or offensive topics. The scattered dialogue is in Mongolian with subtitles. The personalities of the children jump through the screen. The closest comparison I can make to a wide release movie would be Whale Rider. When this movie ends, you will be glad you watched it.
