BAAVGAI BOLOHSON (WENN ICH NUR WINTERSCHLAF HALTEN KÖNNTE)

2023, Mongolia/France/Switzerland/Qatar

Zoljargal Purevdash

Thanks to his extraordinary talent in physics, Ulzii has the chance to get a scholarship that would allow him to attend a prestigious school. He is determined to make it work, but winter in a yurt neighbourhood in Ulaanbaatar is harsh. His mother has left, and somebody needs to look after his younger siblings. In a unique way, this perceptive coming-of-age drama simultaneously tells the universal story of a social dilemma: education can be the key to escaping poverty. But it takes a lot of time. And only those who have money have a lot of time.
