Khökhö

Death comes calling to an old woman, whose children rush home to see her. As she clings to life in the hope of seeing her missing daughter, the others return to their lives. Alone with his suffering mother, one son faces a terrible choice.

Directed by Janchivdorj Jamyansuren, Khökhö leans on a strong ensemble — Borkhuu Tangad, Tserenbold Tsegmid, Tsegmid Ayurzana — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2020.
