Country : Kazhakistan
Running Time: 102 mins.
A timeless saga of human (and animal) heroism, FAREWELL GULSARY has an old nomad of the steppes reminiscing about the parallel lives of himself and his old horse.Now as old and weary as his tapped-out wagon horse, Tanabai (Dogdurbedk Kydraliev) recalls happier days when he was a returned war hero, successful livestock keeper and proud new owner of magnificent stallion Gulsary. When the horse wins a race, however, the party's new regional chief decides Gulsary must be his. As the steed is eventually gelded for being too headstrong, so Tanabai is spiritually castrated by Stalin's agricultural collectivization and mean-spirited local flunkies. Meanwhile, the protag is torn between his wife and a younger woman.
