Amka and the three golden rules
Childhood can be tough - especially if you're an orphaned boy of 10 forced to raise your younger sister and teenage alcoholic brother. That's the situation young Amka finds himself in in the poignant Mongolian film "Amka and the Three Golden Rules." Amka, stunningly and naturalistically embodied by the young Genzorig Telmen is a good boy, collecting cans to make money to feed his sister, and keep his family clothed and fed in their one room yurt in rural Mongolia. But when Amka finds a golden coin in the grass, he does what any young boy might with a joyous treasure - he spends it, on new sports clothes for himself.
