Electronic music isn't exactly the soundtrack you'd expect for a film set in rural Mongolia, but this juxtaposition is part of the wider purpose of Qiao Sixue's debut feature “The Cord of Life”. Starring musicians and performers, this is a work about two different worlds becoming closer, in a film, and country, that can't escape their landscape.
The Cord of Life is screening at New York Asian Film Festival
Alus (Yider) is an electronic musician living in Beijing. Receiving an unusual call from his mother (Badma), he returns to his brother's (Surya) home where she now lives. Learning of her increasing dementia, he decides to take her back to the home where he grew up on the steppes. But he's bitten off more than he can chew, her condition seeing her often run off and getting lost. Local Tama (Nahia), therefore, becomes indispensable for Alus, as he tries to get by and make some music.
