I would like to tell you about a Mongolian movie (imbd rating: 7.4). In fact, this work is a German production and it is a documentary film that takes place in Mongolia which presents a slice of real life. The actors have already played their real-life roles. The film is based on a simple story, as it is somewhat of a documentary. It is about the rejection of a newly born camel by its mother in the Gobi deserts of Mongolia and the village people's attempts to solve this problem.
Since we are mostly presented with the daily life of the Mongolian people, the story actually seems to be somewhat in the background. After all, the adventures of camels in the middle of a desert is not very interesting for a movie. The financial difficulties of the local people living in tents, the fact that they have to cross a huge desert to reach the nearest town, and the fact that they still cannot benefit from the blessings of modern life such as electricity and television are also remembered as details that need to be underlined.
In this movie you will have the opportunity to take a closer look at the life in the old times. The rugs hanging on the walls and the tents where three generations lived together are an indication that these people are still keeping their traditions alive.They benefit from the meat, milk and wool of their camels which is their only livestock and this movie puts the relationship of the humans and the animals in the centre.
As a result, it may be an interesting choice if you want to spend one and a half hours by watching a documentary film and looking at the daily life of a society that lives far, far away from us. The original original title of the film is Die Geschicte vom weinenden Kamel and you can find it's imbd link here.
