Just when the audience decided to sit back and relax to enjoy a plain, slow moving film shot in the Mogolian steppe, they found themselves grabbed by the unexpected twists and turns as the story unfolded.
Tuya was in great trouble. She hurt her back trying to save her neighbor. She had to look for a man to carry on with the work in the farm as her husband, Barter, was crippled. Suitors, including a high school secret admirer, flocked at her doorstep and she was not keen on any of them.
Tuya was about to resign to fate, when she found true love and solutions to her problems. The first scene was an exact duplicate of the last. Tuya shut herself up to weep, but then her new husband called her. She had to get out to face new challenges in her new life.
The exotic Mongolian music, both the singing and the instrumentals, and the shots of the grand steppe, distant mountains and the over hanging full moon added distinct flavor to the movie.
The plot somehow reminded me of Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd". The one was the one nearest to you and the one you had written off completely in the first place.
