    Why did I choose this DVD?

    I really cannot believe I ordered this. The language is Chinese and subtitled in English. A story about a nomadic family. The story went nowhere and was of little interest to me.

    insight

    surreal, real, lovely, documentary-like, paced, mystical, mythical, landscape, traditional, clouds, focus, fable, balance, and with all that my five year old wanted to watch it over and over again, with me reading the subtitles. Really enjoyable.
