"Urga", directed by Nikita Mikhalkov




The shepherd Gombo lives with his wife, three children and grandmother in a tent on the Mongolian steppe. They are pleased with their rustic conditions, until a Russian truck driver, Serguei, gets stuck with his truck nearby. The cultural gap between Gombo and Serguie seems invincible. But maybe they can learn a few things from each other? Written by Mattias Thuresson {mattias.thuresson@mbox300.swipnet.se}

My opinion: Lovely movie about humans relations, not matter where they are from; the way Sergei and Gombo gap through their cultural barrier is very interesting, as well as the gap between the mongols traditional life and the Communist China.
