Khadak Page #2

Synopsis: Magical realism, epilepsy, and the steppes of Mongolia. A pilot dies. His son Bagi, who, like his father, has epilepsy, grows up on the steppes, herding sheep, subject to fits. A plague among the animals forces the family off their land to a city where Bagi gets a mining job. His seizures become more frequent and bring visions in this wasteland of strip mining, factories, and rubble. He falls in with a troupe of student performers after saving the life of one of their number. As the crisis of his people deepens - herders without flocks - Bagi uses the visions to seek direction. Can he save his people, and can he find love?

Shut up!

Look at you on the table!

Get down right now!

It's after midnight.

Why aren't you sleeping?

Go to bed!

Go to bed!

How did you know that I was there?

I felt it.

I heard you.

Who do you live with?

My mother and grandfather.

In the mining town where I found you.

I have a big brother.

The rest isn't worth mentioning.

My brother will get us

out of this trouble soon.

He always does.

Sky.

I can't eat

another f***ing potato.

When's your brother getting here?

Be patient.

He'll get here with the meat soon.

What meat?

My brother's a black market wizard.

Don't tell me there's

no black market in your town.

Where does he get the meat?

The animals were never sick.

Let's go.

Give this to Urna.

Come on.

And how often do you have seizures?

You had animals before

in the countryside?

Let me go.

You listen carefully.

There are many herders here

suffering from the relocations.

I want to get out of here.

When was the last time

you saw a doctor?

I have never seen a doctor.

A shamaness once came.

Let me be frank with you.

You probably have epilepsy.

No shaman can treat you.

But we will treat your illness.

I will prescribe you a medicine.

I got it yesterday.

It's fresh meat.

How much?

- Let my sister go.

What?

And all her friends, too.

- No way.

Listen!

Listen!

Listen!

Sister. Our animals are alive.

Let's leave.

What's happening? Say something.

Our animals are alive!

Say something!

Brother,

please tell them we should go.

Our animals are alive.

Brother, I heard it.

I know exactly where they are.

What's happening?

Let's go! What's happening?

Brother. Let's go.

Brother. Let's go.

Brother, let me tell you.

The animals are alive.

I know. Animals are alive!

Animals are alive!

Let's go. What's happening?

The animals are alive!

I hear them! I know!

I know the animals are there!

I know they're there!

Our animals are alive! Let's go.

One.

Two.

Three.

Four.

Five.

Six.

Seven.

Eight.

Nine.

Ten.

Eleven.

Twelve.

Where am l?

Not 'where'.

'When' is what you must ask.

It's the future.

A possible future, in other words.

The future is only possibility.

There was a time

when man took too much.

The desert moved,

extinguishing life.

The desert will always win.

There are animals alive.

I must go find them now.

'Now' has no meaning here.
