This solid feature debut looks at modern Mongolia beyond what Western society imagines it to be.
I first encountered Lkhagvadulam Purev-Ochir's work back in 2021 at the Sundance Film Festival. I was enchanted by the short film "Shiluus" about a girl in modern-day Mongolia who is brought to a local shaman by her mother. It is only when the shaman lifts his mask that we realize that the man beneath the mask is merely a boy, the same age as the girl. When they meet outside after the shaman ceremony, the two strike up a rapport that feels both flirtatious and youthful.
Things change when one of the people who comes to see the shaman is a girl his own age, brought to him by her mother to prepare before major heart surgery. Maralaa is skeptical of Ze's shaman abilities and rebuffs him after their session, viewing him as an opportunist rather than the real deal. Still, Ze is a 17-year-old, and hormones are a real thing, so inevitably when Ze visits Maralaa in the hospital after her surgery, the two flirt and soon start dating.
