Mongolian Ping Pong 綠草地;


Mongolian Ping Pong (Lü cao di, or 綠草地, ),)a movie from Mongolia, the homeland of Genghis Khan. The movie centers around Bilike and his friends Ergoutou and Dawa. The movie takes place in modern Mongolia and was shot in 2005.
The kids find a mysterious white ball and they come to worship it briefly. They get into to lots of trouble as a result and mischeivious Ergoutou is caught drinking some of his father's beer on a unrelated note, but the main source of Ergoutou's troubles is his unhealthy obsession with the ping pong ball.
The boys hear over the television that the ball is "the national ball" and they travel to reach what they think will be Bejing to return "the national ball" to China.
