Synopsis
Alus is a young electronic musician. He cannot bear the fact that his mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, lives like a prisoner in his brother's city apartment. One day Alus decides to take her back to the Mongolian grassland, in search of where she came from. As his mother's condition worsens, Alus tries to keep her from getting lost by tying his mother to him with a rope. In the meantime, he learns all about the traditional Mongolian approach to life and death.
Film committee member Krista Vos says about this film:
"Moving film about a son and his demented mother, the adventure they plunge into together and the culture he had forgotten. Beautiful images and a story that will definitely stay with you!"
