Karl Emil Rikardsen, Norway, 2019

75 min.Documentary

Boy wished for horses, but got camels. The true story of the world's northernmost camels. On a large island far north in Norway, Torarin (9) and his sister Svalin (12) live. They have moved from the city with their parents and want to live close to nature, the sea and the animals. When the siblings want a horse, their parents buy two Mongolian camels instead. The family soon discovers that camel training is not a walk in the park. Therefore, they decide to go to Mongolia to find a real camel trainer. After many wonderful experiences and encounters with people and animals, they find a candidate deep inside the Great Gobi Desert. But they are not fully prepared for Mongolian training methods. Will the camel trainer be able to train Bor and Bestla to become riding camels?
