草原上的男孩

瑪泰米諾露華絲受業於華意達，是波蘭經驗豐富的紀錄片導演，得獎無數，這次深入蒙古漫天冰雪的高原拍遊牧家庭，與其說跨界染指劇情長片，倒不如說她看到嚴峻大自然天氣變化下的生命狀態，提供真的假不了的人生舞台，展現生存、生產，和生長的真實質地。11 歲的Sukhbat 正從襁褓童年過渡往承擔家庭責任的階段，幫手牧畜之餘，父親要他努力練騎馬，一路唱歌一路放膽跑，代表家族參加比賽。鏡頭很遠彰顯人在天地間的渺小，又很近捕捉童真面容及毅力的目光。On the frozen steppe of Mongolia people's lives are at the mercy of the seasons and unexpected events, while nature dictates the rules of their nomadic lifestyles. After winter kills hoards of his parents' livestock, 11-year old Sukhbat has to leave school, move back home and support the family. When given the responsibility by his father to tame a wild horse in a bid to win a regional race, he has to face a life ruled by unforgiving nature and tradition. No one remains unscathed after being confronted by the power of the steppe.
