The Story Of The Weeping Camel

In the Gobi desert, a family of herders face a crisis when one their camels refuses to nurse its calf.

The calf's cries are unbearable and without its mother's milk it will die, so they arrange a traditional music ritual to reunite the pair.

This is a charming and unusual film, creating a fictional drama from mostly documentary footage.

However, despite some moving scenes, there's really only enough material for a short. As a result, the film feels very slow.
