The Cave of The Yellow Dog is an engaging portrait of life in a Mongolian nomad family, set in the northwest province of Altai. The film hinges on the conflict between sheep-tending father Urjindorj and his six-year-old daughter Nansal, over a puppy she discovers in the wild. Nansal is expected to get rid of her new pet in case it attacks the family?s sheep and goats, but the dog then saves a human life. What?s rewarding is the filmmaker?s focus on the hardworking Batchuluuns? everyday lives, their values and beliefs, and how they tirelessly adapt to nature.
