A unique Mongol dwelling that can withstand the most severe sandstorms in the Gobi Desert

Where the roads we are used to end and the endless sea of sand and stone begins, there lives one big family where the owner is called Budhuu, and the mistress is Amortsetseg. In the middle of the silent and ruthless Gobi Desert, their home, a white felt yurt, stands against blind sandstorms, icy winds and scorching sun.

This movie is not just a story about survival. This is a poetic and honest immersion into the everyday life of modern nomads, whose rhythm of life is subordinated not to the clock on the wall, but to the sun, stars and the breath of the steppe.

The main asset and soul of this house are their animals, faithful companions of many generations.:

Camels are proud, imperturbable ships of the desert. With their unhurried pace, they measure eternity, confidently treading on hot rocks and dunes.

Horses are the embodiment of freedom and the free wind of the Gobi. Their sonorous footsteps resound far around, and their manes flutter like flames. They are the pride of the owners, carrying them faster than the wind towards sunset.

Goats and sheep are a soft, living sea that covers the hillsides. Their sonorous bleating fills the ringing silence of the desert with a cozy life, and the fluffy herds seem like clouds that have descended on the sinful earth.

This is a life of absolute simplicity and deep wisdom. The family in Gobi is not afraid of the vagaries of the desert — they themselves have become a part of it, strong, hardy and infinitely loving their land, their animals and their native hearth.
