Storyline
On the Mongolian plains, a young girl, Puujee, helps her herder family with their animals. Chronicling the everyday life of Puujee's family, this documentary offers a fascinating look at Mongolian nomadic culture, which is verging on extinction. Taught to ride horses at an early age and wise beyond her years, the 6-year-old Puujee contributes to the family livelihood with her uncanny ability to tame wild horses.
