Captivating film-making
I first saw this film on TV late at night by chance some years ago and knew nothing about it. It's made in such a 'naturalistic' style it feels much more like a documentary than anything. I was utterly captivated by the filming of the Mongolian family raising camels, and by the tale of one camel who failed to bond with and feed her offspring. The story seems so unusual it's hard not to believe in it; how could this be fiction?...
The film is slow-paced, like the lifestyle of the characters in it, and the solution to the problem of the camel that rejects her colt is so extraordinary and unexpected it becomes enshrined in mystery and 'other-worldliness.'
Stunningly beautiful filming and a simple, clear narrative combine to create a quite unique and compelling tale. Believe me, you won't guess the ending to this film!
Don't worry about the fact you're going to have to read subtitles all the way through - there isn't lots of dialogue. Most of the time I just enjoyed the close up photography of the characters' wizened faces or the expansive scenery or the camels themselves. The views inside and outside the yurt really transport you to the Mongolian plains.
A film for when you're not in a hurry, when you really just want to be told a good story that warms the heart...

How to crochet smooth and fast
I love the Clover Amour hook! It's great to hold and great to use. It has a good shape at the 'point' that can easily slip into your work without effort enabling you to work quickly and efficiently. The handle is lovely and comfortable.
