In the remote northeast of Mongolia, Munkhjargal, her parents, and her grandparents persevere to carry on the nomadic herding tradition. They work from dawn to dusk to maintain their herd and live off the meat, milk, and wool their herd provides.
Munkhjargal dreams of becoming a horse trainer like her dad one day. In between the work herding demands— corralling horses, churning butter, shearing wool—Munkhjargal and her dad train and prepare their horses to race at the annual Naadam Festival.
