A boy from the country flees his loveless family and finds refuge on the roof of a building in the country’s capital, Ulaanbaatar. From up on high in this haven of peace, his imagination can run wild. Byamba Sakhya’s first fiction feature is undoubtedly one of the most widely acclaimed Mongolian films. It is also one of the only films to be entered into major festivals, winning prizes at both Busan and Rotterdam.
