The Impossibility
Daava and his wife Zaya watch over herds of horses, sheep and goats roaming the rugged central Mongolian steppes. Herding is their livelihood source, but the increasingly extreme weather complicates survival in the harsh region. Humans are affected by natural forces as much as animals. Herders’ lives are ruled by the rhythm of the seasons. They spend nights under the stars and witness the birth of each newborn.
