Since the socialist years Nyama has been held up to Mongolians as 'the woman of the fatherland', a role that has hemmed in her whole life. Through her the story looks at Mongolia then and now: personal freedom under such a system, how art and power are tied together, and what it is like inside for a woman whom others have always desired. It also asks what real love might be, and sets her on a long journey.
