When Amka, who's had a tragic past that left his family in poverty, finds a gold coin in his backyard, he does what most ten year old boys do - buy the things he wants most. The little money he made from the gold coin is quickly spent on sports clothes and video games (more on this later), and soon Amka finds himself in debt with the local boys. Due to his excessive spending habits developed as a result of the gold coin, Amka finds himself in confrontation with his older brother and begins to neglect his little sister. Unable to live in his neighborhood without getting into trouble with those from whom he borrowed, Amka decides to spend the rest of the summer with his uncle, who leads a nomadic life in the countryside. There Amka must learn three lessons that will set him on the right path. Telmen delivers a strong, natural performance as Amka, seamlessly guiding the audience through the story. Combined with a strong lead, stunning shots of the spectacular landscapes of Mongolia and excellent music, with an ethnic undertone, the movie adds another perspective onto life in Mongolia. As stated above, the story itself serves as a symbol for Mongolia and how it must efficiently utilizes its considerable natural resources, as Amka had to learn. At the same time, the movie underlines important social concerns in Mongolia, such as the hardships living in the ger districts, without central heating and water supplies, and unregulated video game centers that allow minors to play violent video games and view explicit content for prolonged hours.
