About This DVD
A co-production by Korea, Mongolia and France, "Hyazagar" (also known as "Desert
Dream") takes place in a tiny village straddling the border between China and
Mongolia. Townspeople leave one by one as the town becomes increasingly
deserted, but one man insists on staying behind. His frustrated wife and
daughter abandon him, but Hangai continues on with his daily routine planting
trees.
One day, a mother and her young son arrive at his door. Soon-hee and her son
Chang-ho have defected from North Korea in the hope of a better life in South
Korea, losing her husband on the way. Although they do not understand each
other's languages, the three begin a peaceful "co-habitation". As the young boy
becomes attached to his temporary home, Soon-hee must also face her own growing
attraction to Hangai.
Though pushed forth by dramatic narrative elements- North Korean defectors and
stark drought-ridden places- the movie retains a slow, mellow tempo. It is
deeply imbedded in realism that makes you fathom the meaning of life and its
ironic twists and turns. Though set in barren desert lands, life takes full
bloom amid the vast Mongolian plains, and the sandy winds will take your breath
away.
Directed by Zhang Lu, who recently gained international acclaim for his
award-winning film "Grain in Ear", the film competed at Berlin this year.
