A very nice story. On behalf of the Czech distribution I’m surprised that it is so neglected. Jacob Tremblay perfectly portrays a boy who gets obsessed with Mongolia. It is not a fleeting fancy, it is more like that he probably used to be a part of a Mongolian community somewhere in the middle of their local steppe in his previous life. Add to it some family demons and you get a beautiful movie experience from an environment you rarely get a glimpse of. ()
