The Wolves Always Come at Night(EADF2025)
Blending documentary and fiction, the film tells the story of Daava and Zaya, a Mongolian couple raising their children as horse herders in the vast Bayankhongor region. As relentless sandstorms make life impossible, they are forced to leave behind tradition and face the harsh realities of urban survival in Ulaanbaatar.
The breathtaking film captures the tension between tradition and modernity with sweeping cinematography and a dreamlike atmosphere, immersing viewers in Mongolia’s raw beauty, longing, and the unforgiving forces of nature.
