Tulpan

Like goat placenta? See Tulpan.

The struggles of a small family on the Kazakh steppe. The husband and wife are trying to make a living, the wife's brother is trying to find a wife. There are some interesting moments when some bits of western culture filter into their remote home, but overall the pacing is slow, and the struggles they face are a bit hard to connect with. Some bits of humor stick, but compared to the length of the movie they're a bit sparse.

Well done in its way, but not great.
