Synopsis

A mother of an autistic little girl, director Claire Doyon decides to try and find a way to make her child feel better by undertaking a long journey. Together they travel to the deepest corners of Mongolian Siberia, searching for a shaman with healing powers.

MUBI's take

Diaristic and contemplative, Claire Doyon’s chronicle of a family odyssey to the Mongolian highlands honors the beauty as well as the conflicts of the landscape. Transformative in its quiet simplicity, this luminous portrait of motherly love and resilience unfolds like a poem for her young daughter.
