Кто поедет в Улан-Батор

Description

The documentary "Кто поедет в Улан-Батор" takes place in Ulaanbaatar, where a filmmaker seeks to uncover the fate of "Son of Mongolia," the first Mongolian feature film shot by a Soviet crew in 1936. The film, which is characterized as an almost Western comedy, mysteriously disappeared over the years, prompting the director's granddaughter to investigate its disappearance. She visits the Mongolkino film studio, established with Soviet support, and interacts with the descendants of the original film's actors. As she travels through Mongolia, retracing the locations where her grandfather's film was made, she gathers historical clues and personal stories related to the project. The search leads her to various individuals who have connections to the film's legacy, but the investigation leaves her facing unresolved questions about the film's historical significance and whereabouts.
