The Story of the Weeping Camel

Exudes a subtle spiritual power.

As unique as the title animal: unrushed as a donkey, shaggy as a llama, sturdy as a horse — and, it turns out, with a sensitive soft spot for music. Who'd'a thunk?

Chances are, if you're susceptible to this movie's gentle charms, you'll weep when the camel does.

Davaa and Falorni immerse the viewer in their chosen world. Their patient, observational approach pays dividends, allowing us to appreciate the resilience, cheerfulness and resourcefulness of the nomads.
