Story

Set in the wind-whipped yurt settlements of Ulan Bator, a coming-of-age story about a clash of ways of life. A directorial debut shines a light on a rarely seen world with impressive cinematography and rousing performances. 17-year old Ze is caught in a double life. Like his schoolmates, he is under pressure to perform and thus survive in modern Mongolian society. At the same time, he communicates with his ancestors as a shaman and is a spiritual helper in his community. When he is called on to help Maralaa, who suffers from a heart condition and is sceptical of such old-fashioned incantations, the meeting causes a sea change in Ze’s life.

Director

LKHAGVADULAM PUREV-OCHIR is a Mongolian director, whose short films Mountain Cat and Snow in September were shown in Cannes, Toronto and Venice. City of Wind received an invitation to be shown in the Orizzonti section at Venice.
