    • Synopsis
    • LITTLE NOMADS tells the initiatory journey of three nomadic sisters Batma,17, Urgee, 14 and Dolma, 10. As Batma enters University, the three girls will move on their own from the Mongol steppe to Ulan Bator, the modern and very polluted capital city of Mongolia. From green meadow to grey concrete jungle – how the three girls change? The family who stay in the steppe including their mother, grandmother and great-grandmother will show the changes that Mongolia and many other developing countries are experiencing. Their adventures will echo the universal subject of expatriation from the rural world to the urban one, through the extreme example of Mongolia.
