i think its an awful movie. the character of the woman was portrayed as a helpless, wavering person. the two men who took her in, not only took advantage of her but treated her like a whore and a commodity goods. they used her sexually, dumped her when they felt she was a problem and when she was finally brought back to them, again they tried to take advantage of her sexually. on the other hand, the story reflected how influential and powerfully manipulative a woman can be to men. she was more like a log rather than a tempting seductress and yet, with her skinny and quiet and submissive personality, the men tailed her like hungry dogs. all in all, i was uncomfortable of such story. especially when women are portrayed as nothing more than sex slave to men.

This fascinating film takes place far away from the center of our so called civilized world. After a plane crash an attractive western woman gets found by two inhabitants of the middle of nowhere, Oezbekistan to be more precise. Unlike most hollywood films would have it, the people over there DON'T speak English. As a result there's almost no dialogue in the film except for some grunts and screams. Still it manages to fascinate for one and a half hour.

In the setting of an astounding desert-like landscape the film tells the tale of a classic ménage-a-trois in very unusual circumstances. Very nice cinematography,some funny scenes an a respectful, non-exploiting view on a different way of living. In my view there's even some sharp criticism towards our society. For instance the corrupt cop who frequently visits the treesome. In an other scene they bring the woman to the city and she gets brought back raped and beaten up. Subtle although politically incorrect. Unconventional but classic. Altogether a very nice film
