It portrays a traditional Mongolian couple and their struggle to get a professional C-section and secure delivery of their first child.
The film can be considered a road movie because the couple travels from their home in the Mongolian Steppe to Mongolia's capital city Ulaanbaatar, where they face challenges.
Married couple Dorj and Suren lead a peaceful life as nomads in the Mongolian steppe.
Suddenly, their lives change as a local doctor advises them to travel to Ulaanbaatar because he finds evidence that the unborn child and the mother are in severe danger.
Neither Dorj nor Suren know how to drive a car, so Ganbaa, a young man, takes them in his truck.
Suddenly, she spots Dorj standing at a crossroad waiting... Out of Paradise is the first feature film made by Swiss-Mongolian filmmaker Batbayar Chogsom.
The same year a major production company agreed to support the film, along with other donors.
No other Swiss film won a comparable prize within the competition of an international festival that year.
"[2] Unfortunately, Out of Paradise has not been shown in Mongolian cinemas or festivals yet, but the film has had screenings in Asia, Europe[3] and in the US[4][5] and has had good coverage within major Swiss newspapers.
