WHERE THE MOUNTAIN WOMEN SING

Unravel a feminist thriller steeped in folklore, where captivating artistry and an international co-production between Taiwan, Mongolia, and Europe bring a gripping mystery to life—all on a budget under $1 million.

Stephanie, a young documentary filmmaker, journeys to a remote village in the Mongolian mountains, ruled by powerful female shamans and steeped in ancient traditions. This matriarchal society, where women are celebrated and men labor, offers a stark contrast to the patriarchal film industry Stephanie resents. She forms a deep bond with Chi-Med, a charismatic local woman, but soon discovers a dark secret: women must bear children at 21, supposedly by the “Mountain God,” and romantic relationships are forbidden. As the lines between reality and folklore blur, Stephanie becomes entangled in a conflict between tradition and progress, love and sacrifice. She faces a harrowing choice between her loyalty to Chi-Med and her own morality, leading to a decision that will forever alter the fate of the village and redefine her understanding of power, belief, and her place in the world.
