Nominated for the Golden Camera and Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes, this Mongolian drama follows teenager Ulzii who lives in an undeveloped area of Ulaanbaatar. When his alcoholic mother leaves him with his younger siblings to gather nuts for money, he has to keep his home warm while following his dream to participate in physics competitions.

Level-headed storytelling
This poverty struggle drama avoids sinking into poor-sploitation thanks to some level-headed storytelling and its likeable Gen Z lead. If the plot points end up feeling overly familiar, this at least earns distinction with its noticeably affectionate eye on modern Mongolia (which looked stupendous on the big screen).
