If only I could hibernate,” the first film by director Zoljargal Purevdash, will be released in theaters on Wednesday, January 10th. It paints an unfiltered portrait of a Mongolian society grappling with universal challenges. It is the first Mongolian film to have been presented at the Cannes Film Festival, where it was warmly received in May 2023. It is a significant film, reminiscent of Vittorio De Sica’s Bicycle Thieves. It is a social and political film, excellently executed with refined aesthetics.
