Product Description
Mongolian drama, from director Byambasuren Davaa. Six-year-old Nansaa (Nansalmaa Batchuluun) is out taking a walk when she finds a small dog in a nearby cave.

When the dog goes missing one day, she sets off to find him, and encounters an old nomad woman who tells her the legend of the cave of the yellow dog.

Format:DVD
As the DVD is yet to be released I can only comment on the film itself. For those who enjoyed 'weeping camel' this is a must. The beautiful landscape along with the slow-paced but heart-warming story create a enviroment which pulls the viewer in. The most endearing feature, though, has to be the wonderful performances that the crew managed to get out of the three children.

I could have spent at least another week in the company of the Batchuluun family.
What a pity we couldn't have this instead of Eastenders.

it seems to be very rare when a truly beautiful, sweet and simply-told movie comes along to delight the viewer. This is one such film. There is a real earthy, honest feel to this that I have never seen in a Hollywood production. Essentially, this is a docu-drama, which manages to extract incredible performances out of the very young children. Even the parents are superb. This is a MUST-SEE movie! It will aim right for your heart. If you haven't already, you will feel a deep yearning for the simeple ways of life again...and being part of a family. Superb. One of the finest films in the last 50 years!

Simply beautiful
We love films about Mongolia and Siberia, and this is perfect. A great insight into traditional ways of life and the language.

TERRIBLE!
This film has absolutely no goodness in it. No plot, no good acting, it's all terrible. It made absolutely no sense to me! You'll definately be dozing by the end. Best avoided! Read more

When the film maker has talent AND an authentic relationship with her subject, you get great films like this. Read more

Simple story - beautifully acted and well constructed
The first thing that will strike you is the cleanness of the shots and superbly naturalistic acting. Read more
