The Last Mongolian Horseman follows the life of a nomadic shepherd family across four seasons in the vast grasslands of Inner Mongolia. Through quiet observation and poetic imagery, the film captures the rhythms of traditional Mongolian life amidst growing pressures from industrialization and cultural displacement. As the family tends to their animals and sustains their ancestral way of life, the documentary reveals the ecological and spiritual fragility of a vanishing culture. This intimate portrait becomes a powerful meditation on identity, survival, and the unyielding connection between people and their land.
