Urga 1991 DVDRip Sonata Premiere

Offering a seldom-seen view of inner Mongolian life, this moving drama provides insight into the effects the encroachment of modernization has had upon the tradition-based lives of the hardy steppe farmers. The tale centers on the relationship between one farmer and a Russian truck driver who nearly drowns after crashing his rig into a lake. The farmer, who was on his way into town to procure birth control, rescues the trucker and brings him home. For the Russian, it is a strange new world that at times borders on the surreal.
