In Mongolia, six-year-old Nansal discovers a stray dog in a cave. She adopts it, but her father objects to the mysterious dog staying with the family, fearing that it has been in contact with wolves and poses a threat to their herd. The little girl persists, hiding her new friend. Part observation of nomadic life, part child's tale, The Yellow Dog of Mongolia is a breathtaking journey across the Mongolian steppes and a highly engaging film.
