Amélie, a 2-and-a-half-year-old Belgian girl, born in Japan, thinks she is God. From her wide awake and acerbic point of view, she believes she can make plants grow in the garden, or cross the sea by foot. She thinks she’s at the center of everything and she has only one goal: to convert the world to her cult. Unfortunately, almighty Amélie’s power seems limited to her nanny, Nishio-San. Between her family who treats her like any other child and a housekeeper who divinizes her, the choice is clear: Amélie will be Japanese. But her world will fall apart at the age of 3, when she learns that she will have to leave Japan eventually.
A strange film as beautifully jumbled as the political environment out of which it sprang, like a handsome weed, "Son of Mongolia" is a travelogue of unique and authentic richness, an amusing Far Eastern horse opera of picaresque character, and a scientifically valuable anthropological document in which the Soviet film industry may well take pride. Objective and modern, yet permeated with a fresh folk quality that goes back to the reckless and lovely Tartary of Genghis Khan, it rises above all its inescapable Soviet-isms into a new frontier region of plains, mountains, tents and herds, a world still appreciably beyond the range of Western cameras.
A troubled teen crosses paths with a charismatic, dangerous stranger and it becomes the worst decision in both of their lives.
