Seemingly absurd but "reasonable"

As a "documentary film", this sad and poetic title has attracted my attention in many relatively monotonous documentary films. The desert-like area is like the Middle East, with chaotic disputes and absurd plots. The location is a small town in Central Asia, a beautiful young girl Malaka, like many girls who love to dream, her mother died early, and she lives with her father and a brother who got insane during the war. Malaka was seduced by a stranger in the dark because she couldn't watch a play in time. In that society, pregnancy out of wedlock could be equated with a crime, which caused Malaka's family to be scorned and humiliated. In order to find the father of the child in Malaka's womb, the three of them tried their best to perform a lot of absurd and plausible actions; and Malaka also tried to kill the child several times, each time encountering various I failed in this situation; later I met a young father who was willing to be a child and thought it would finally be a happy ending. Who would have guessed that a cow fell from the sky at the wedding and crushed both the father and the groom to death (it is said that they died of drowning) . Finally, in Malaka, I heard a man talk about his stealing cows on the plane. He knew that he was the murderer, and the man also took the initiative to admit to Malaka that he was the one who made her pregnant that night and was willing to marry her. , but Malaka took out the pistol...
If the whole play was put in real life, it must be absurd, but as the plot progresses gradually, the absurdity becomes reasonable again, just seeing some unexpected The situation will be amusing. For example, Malaka's brother often uses himself as a bomber to sweep away "evil", such as using planes to steal sheep and cattle, such as people who are electrocuted and buried in the soil with their heads exposed, such as Father and brother tied up the groom when they were sleeping, such as the cow that suddenly fell from the sky, such as the roof can fly up to the sky by the power of two fans... The center of many absurdities is the kindness and affection of the girl's family, Difficulty confronting the annihilated humanity around: When the Malaka brothers and sisters used pistols to scare the man into a vegetative state, the chasing people also asked her to marry him. "It doesn't matter if you love him or not, he is the father of the child. have to marry him"

When I read the title, there was a sad poetry, but after reading the content, I felt another kind of bitterness and helplessness. The media introduced it as a "light comedy". I can't laugh at it and I don't think it's a comedy. Although some of the plots are funny, generally speaking, what happened to their family is not funny. It's better to say a serious drama. Unexpectedly, the Central Asian countries also have high-level filming. The collision of cultures sometimes does not necessarily bring conflicts, but can also make people's minds more open and profound.
