She's the only girl for him.

DramaComedyRomance

Asa, a young and cheerful dreamer, returns from his Russian naval service to his sister’s nomadic family on the desolate Hunger Steppe of central Asia, so that he can begin his own life as a shepherd. But before he can tend a flock of his own, Asa must first win the hand of the only eligible girl for miles—his mysterious neighbor, Tulpan.

VIBE

A starkly beautiful portrait of yearning and tradition on the vast, empty steppe. It feels like a quiet, contemplative journey into a remote world, where simple dreams clash with harsh realities. A deeply human and often funny experience.
