It is spring in the desert of Bayanhongor province in Mongolia, where young nomadic couple Davaa and Zaya live with their four kids, caring for their birthing animals. 
The kids spend the nights telling each other ghost stories of disappearing gers. Davaa awakes startled to check the herd for wolves, but finds nothing there. Local herders discuss the auspicious sighting of two ‘red stars’. 
One fateful day a violent dust storm hits the families camp and they discover half their animals killed. They make the painful decision to leave for the city and Davaa is forced to sell his beloved horse. 
Setting up their ger in the cities ‘districts’, the family begin adjusting to their new life. Davaa starts work at a gravel factory but becomes increasingly haunted by the presence of his lost animals.
