Сэр сэр салхи
A studious seventeen-year-old who moonlights as a young shaman in modern Ulaanbaatar has his carefully ordered world upended when he falls for a free-spirited girl, and another way of living beckons. A sensitive coming-of-age drama.
Why it’s here
This coming-of-age film joins a teenage shaman’s spiritual obligations to school, desire, and the pressures of modern Ulaanbaatar with unusual visual and emotional control.
