Кто поедет в Улан-Батор (2026)

A 1936 cinematic gem, *Son of Mongolia*, holds the distinction of being the very first feature film ever produced in Mongolia—a trailblazing creation brought to life by a Soviet film crew hailing from Leningrad. Blending frontier-style humor with near-Western tropes, this pioneering picture was a cultural landmark. Yet, mysteriously, it vanished without a trace. Now, a documentary filmmaker—the granddaughter of that original director—sets out on a quest to Ulaanbaatar, diving into the archives of Mongolkino, the studio built with heavy backing from the USSR and Lenfilm. Determined to unearth the fate of this politically significant film, she tracks down the descendants of its pioneering actors, piecing together fragments of history along the rugged Mongolian roads where her grandfather once rolled the cameras.
