[COMMENTARY]
Born in Ulan Bator in 1956, Uranchimeg is a female director for whom the Mongolian film industry has great expectations. She studied screenwriting at the Soviet National Film University in Moscow and then began writing for film and stage. She made her directorial debut in 1991 with SHACKLES followed by this film.
After the collapse of socialism, privatization of livestock in Mongolia is finally recognized. Aranzal, the son of old Danzan is allotted a scrawny red horse. But Danzan, an expert on horses, sees at a glance that the animal is a born racehorse. Damcha, the man in charge of the redistribution of the horses devises a scheme to gain the horse for his own financial interest. Deprived of the treasure horse, Danzan and a young boy Bilguun who had aspired to be the jockey of the horse are grief stricken. Aranzal, keenly feeling their grief, tries to regain what he has lost... |
