内蒙古的年轻牧民阿嘎日是个现代青年,他认为靠传统放牧买不来自己梦想中的车:一辆宝马。他曾在网上学英语,在游轮上找到工作,周游了加勒比海。对胸怀大志的阿嘎日来说,草原太小了。他试图用智能手机和互联网改变草原的未来。以飞速变化的内蒙古草原为背景,Yang Bo 以亲密的目光观察阿嘎日和他的家人。迷失在梦想与现实、草原与互联网之间的某处,他们对生活的态度却始终不曾动摇,影片在这时显得尤为动人。这一家人天生乐观,富有幽默感,彼此之间充满信任与温言暖语。“生活太苦了,妈,吃点糖吧。”正如阿嘎日的这句话,《阿嘎日的天空》拥有一种奇妙的魔力,让生活显得不那么苦。这是一幅 21 世纪内蒙古苦乐交织的肖像,也是一部令人难忘的家庭剧。
