Breathtaking cinematography provides an intimate glimpse into the life of Nomadic sheep herders on the Mongolian steppe.

With quiet dignity, Purevjav speaks of the sacred relationship between human and wolf and how exploitation and misuse of the land has transgressed humanity's sacred connection to the landscape.
