A sweet and touching film about the disappearing world of nomads in Kazakhstan. In order to get his own flock, the sailor Asa needs a wife; however, there are no available maidens except the reclusive beauty of the title who dreams of a life in the city instead of a life in the steppe. This humorous tale is fascinating due to its exotic location and characters that never fail but a bit formula driven. It ends with a sad note because of global changes of the earth and its consequences. YRCinema's coverage of the AFI Fest 2008.
