Screening: An Eternal Lamb (CAFF 2011)
The 2011 Chinese American Film Festival presents a screening of An Eternal Lamb.
It’s the reminiscence of a nighty-year-old Kazakh man named Hali. He led a nomad life around different pastures with his grandmother and uncle with the orphan lamb Sambas. His uncle Castile secretly fell in love with the daughter of a rich Sudan named Ukubara. Sudan was planning to marry Ukubara to a rich family when Ukubara ran off with a rider named Aterty on her wedding day. Five years later, Ukubara became a widow and married Castile, as he wished. Grandma Carla, Uncle Castile and Hali caters to Ukubara’s every need, but she still couldn’t get her two children out of her mind and finally decided to leave Castile for them. Hali learned from Granma Carla and Ukubara about the love of nomad, which is eternal and passed on as the legacy of life like the petrogram.
