In Mongolia's timeless Altai Mountains, 13-year-old Kharakoz embodies a captivating blend of ancestral traditions and modern influences. As she learns the ancient art of eagle-hunting, the film delves into the powerful ripple effect of passing this sacred knowledge to girls. Среди бесконечных вершин монгольского Алтая 13-летняя Каракоз являет собой удивительный союз древних традиций и дыхания современности. Постигая сакральное мастерство охоты с беркутом, героиня запускает невидимую волну перемен, а фильм исследует тот мощный резонанс, который рождает передача священного наследия предков в женские руки.

Black Eyes

In the vast, rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains and high desert, ranching women, their dogs, horses, and cattle, share powerful connections that reveal nature’s quiet ways. This is the story of four species - dog, horse, cow, human – and the confluence of their lives on the range, in the mountains and high desert. This is a story about tiny moments of understanding and connection, unseen by most, appreciated by few. These moments are rich with meaning and speak to connecting with nature in a way that honors intuition and experience.
