Springtime in the Gobi Desert, south Mongolia. A family of nomads assists with the births in their camel herd. One of the camels has a difficult delivery, and when her rare, white calf is born, she rejects it, refusing it the milk it needs to survive. In accordance with an ancient ritual, the shepherds summon a musician from a far-off village to perform a magical ceremony - the calf's last hope. The Story of the Weeping Camel is a work that combines hard-hitting truth with uplifting drama. The film's sweeping vistas and magical photography capture the very essence of this part of the world, while its emotionally charged story of separation and reconciliation reminds us that the heart, whether human or animal, knows no borders.
