The Tibetan nomad mastiff is an exotic prize dog in China, fetching as much as millions of dollars from wealthy Chinese. When a young man notices several thefts of mastiffs from Tibetan farm families, he decides to sell his family's dog before it is stolen and sold on the black market. His father, an aging Tibetan herder, is furious when he discovers their dog missing. When the father seeks to buy the dog back, it leads to a series of tragicomic events that threaten to tear the family apart, while showing the erosion of Tibetan culture under the pressures of contemporary society. Pema Tseden (THE SILENT HOLY STORIES, THE SEARCH) is the leading filmmaker of a newly emerging Tibetan cinema and the first director in China to film his movies entirely in the Tibetan language. His third feature OLD DOG is both a humorous and tragic allegory and a sober depiction of life among the impoverished rural Tibetan community. 521 8 Not rated. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Tibetan mastiff|vDrama. 650 0 Rural families|zChina|zTibet Autonomous Region|vDrama. 651 0 Tibet Autonomous Region (China)|xRural conditions|vDrama. 651 0 Tibet Autonomous Region (China)|xSocial conditions|vDrama. 700 0 Pad-ma-tshe-brtan,|d1969-2023|escreenwriter,|efilm director. 700 0 Sangye Gyamtso,|efilm producer. 700 0 Yanbum Gyal,|eactor. 700 0 Drolma Kyab,|eactor. 700 0 Lochey,|eactor. 700 0 Tamdrin Tso,|eactor. 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT11488287
