Synopsis

After his breakout hit The Sales Girl, director Janchivdorj Sengedorj turns to a much darker story about an outcast living in the underbelly of Ulaanbaatar. Released after 14 years of relentless abuse in prison, Myagmar now lives in isolation with his stray dogs and works as a hearse driver. He finds a glimmer of hope in his bond with the similarly damaged Sarrul, but Sarrul becomes embroiled in a traumatic incident that forces him to return to his violent ways. Deliberately paced but intensely gripping, Sengedorj’s Taxi Driver-inspired Mongolian noir is a bleak and disturbing vision of urban loneliness.
