Adapted from a celebrated Mongolian novel, this sweeping saga follows a family and community through the upheavals of early-20th-century Mongolia and its revolution. An epic period drama.

Why it’s here

Ravjaagiin Dorjpalam’s three-part screen epic turns a major Mongolian novel into a panorama of rural life, revolution, freedom, and social change, and is repeatedly identified within Mongolia’s own film canon.
