Tulpan

Tulpan, Russian film by Sergay Dvorsevoy. It takes place in a Kazakh steppe. The plot is very simple : a young man is coming back in his nomad community after serving in the Navy. He'd like to "settle down" but in order to get his own flock of sheep he needs to get married. The only girl available is Tulpen...
We follow the everyday & humble life of this small community. And then deep down we are left with very moving human feelings : sibling love, what are the most important priorities ?
