Mongolian Ping Pong

A ping pong ball finds it way down a river into a sleepy little village in inner Mongolia. The boy who finds the ball and his friends who have never seen one before, are thrown into flights of fancy. Very reminiscent of "The Gods must be crazy", the film serves as a huge advertisement for Mongolia with its lush landscapes. But what really piqued my interest was the portrayal of everyday life in the remote village with its traveling salesmen and nomadic entertainers.
