Utterly gorgeous to gaze upon, "The Eagle Hunter's Son" is a story of fathers and sons, young men burning for independence, and the delicate balance between man and nature, master and beast. The story takes place in the harsh foothills bordering Mongolia and Kazakhstan, where ethnicities and religion blur from one tribe to the next. Young Bazarbai (Bazarbai Matyei) is of Mongol descent and is a Muslim sheepherder, like his father (Mardan Matyei) and older brother Khan (Asilbek Badekhan). A few mountains over, and you will encounter Chinese and European, Buddhist and Christian.
