The oldest daughter of a Mongolian nomad family finds a small dog one day while out in the fields.

When the family uproots to move to another camp, the father leaves the puppy behind, tied up to a post. Only when the dog proves himself to the father by protecting the family's baby boy from a flock of threatening vultures does the father accept him and welcome him into their family.

    Why did I choose this DVD?

    I really cannot believe I ordered this. The language is Chinese and subtitled in English. A story about a nomadic family. The story went nowhere and was of little interest to me.

    movies to chillout to

    A simple story of the life of Mongolion nomads and with alittle bit on how the modern world is slowly encroaching upon them. Nothing major really happens (even the drama at the end is more from a 1930's film than anything truly dangerous) but the scenery and photography is lovely and the 'acting' is very natural. A real life family is used so all the interactions are actual and the trusting manner of the parents allows the children to take on their responsibilities with a lot less fuss than most would in the western world (a similar film of a family in England would probably lead to a migraine from all the shouting).
