Review by panta-4

Xuebing, Zhu Genyou and Ma Yili (I will write them the way Chinese write them, surname first) were an adorable trio to watch - the chemistry was simply there and nobody could take it away. It was described as a comedy, but this was a drama with well developed characters... and they were evolving through the movie. Struggles, troubles and very short moments of joy became experiences, for all of them, and they grew together, almost as a family they all longed for. Gobi Desert was a perfect background for everything happening to those barren souls who had no permanent direction they were heading to, but for a short moment in life had each other. Unexpected ending for a Chinese film, but quite realistic.
