Here is a film that is about life itself, and about those few humans who still engage it at first hand.

In the vast desert of Mongolia, a family of nomadic shepherds welcomes the birth of a rare white camel calf. But the mother rejects her newborn, refusing to nurse it. To change her mind, the family turns to an ancient ritual: a musician must play a magical melody to touch the camel's heart and reunite mother and child. The two young boys embark on a journey to find the musician, and the entire community comes together for a moving ceremony of music, chanting, and tears. Will the mother camel weep for her child, and will harmony be restored in the desert?
