When a devastating storm wreaks havoc, a young Mongolian couple is forced to leave their home and adapt to city life.

Young couple, Davaa (Davaasuren Dagvasuren) and Zaya (Otgonzaya Dashzeveg) live a nomadic life, tending their animals by day in the vast Bayanhongor region of Mongolia and telling ghost stories at night. When a sudden storm wreaks havoc on their flock, they face the difficult decision of moving to the city with their four children. Dislocated from their traditions and their animals, the family must adapt to the new urban life while being haunted by their animals.

The Wolves Always Come at Night is a hybrid film which uses observational documentary footage along with re-enacted and created scenes co-written with Davaa and Zaya. Made over five years, this film weaves an intimate portrait of the effects of climate change and urban migration on an increasing number of nomadic herders.

In her second feature, Gabrielle Brady (The Island of the Hungry Ghosts) continues her collaborative filmmaking approach to telling transformative stories.

"Brady maneuvers us quietly through the ebbs and flows of Daava and Zaya’s personal internal conflict so that we feel every detail and beat with depth."
