A young nomadic couple, Davaa and Zaya, live in the Mongolian desert with their four children, sheep and horses. Their loving and harmonious lifestyle is threatened by unpredictable weather, and encroaching animal predators. Forced to make the heartbreaking decision to uproot themselves and move to the city, the family must quickly adjust. In this foreign terrain, they band together, all the while haunted by dreams of their herding past and ancestral homeland.
