Baavgai Bolohson - If Only I Could Hibernate

Description

Feature film (Mongolia/France/Switzerland/Qatar, 2023), directed by Zoljargal Purevdash Ulzii. A resource-poor but highly gifted and proud teenager lives with his family in the yurt district of Ulaanbaatar. He can prove his extraordinary academic talent in a physics competition, which means a scholarship and a future perspective. However, he must first get his siblings through the icy winter and take on a risky job to do so. Mongolian director Zoljargal Purevdash tells the coming-of-age story of a pragmatic teenager with an unvarnished view, far from any romance, in the brutal cold of Mongolia, finding humor and warmth in family life. Suitable for ages 10 and up, 98 minutes, original version with German subtitles.
