(Ingen nulims/Die Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel)
Country: GER/MONG
Technical: col 91m
Director: Byambasuren Davaa, Luigi Falorni
Cast: Janchiv Ayurzana, Chimed Ohin, Amgaabazar Gonson
Synopsis:
The life of a small community of Mongolian goatherds depend much on their camel livestock, and the annual birth of colts is an important period. When one of the camels foals a white colt she spurns it and won't let it suckle, so two of the herdsmen ride off to fetch a musician who is able to soothe animals with his playing and singing.
Review:
An absorbing immersion into a foreign culture and a stunning piece of quasi-documentary filmmaking, in which clever editing and vast amounts of patience have gone into the animal sequences.
