Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Made in Mongolia is a 2015 film that was...made in Mongolia, directed by L. Lhagvajargal.Bodi is a herdsman, a nomad from the Mongolian countryside. He receives notification that his father, whom he has not seen in twenty years, has died, and has left him a house and a lot in the capital of Ulaanbaatar. He comes to the capital along with his best buddy Boldoo, who supposedly has some experience of visiting the city, tagging along.The two country nomads, used to living in yurts on the vast empty plains, are overwhelmed by Ulaanbaatar, a crowded metropolis of over a million people.note Nearly half the population of a country more than twice the size of Texas. They find the house that Bodi has inherited, and are disappointed to find a crumbling one-room concrete structure in the slums. However, it turns out that while the house is most underwhelming, the location is very valuable. The city is rapidly expanding, and a corrupt real estate baron named Hujee wants Bodi's plot of land, along with the rest of the neighborhood, in order to build modern apartment complexes. And he will stop at nothing to get it.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })

Chekhov's Gunman: Oyunaa, Hujee's gorgeous wife, whom Boldoo can't stop raving about. It's established that she's kind and decent and that her husband, while not physically abusive, usually behaves quite coldly and rudely towards his wife. At the climax she tells the cops that she is an eyewitness to Hujee's corrupt scheme with the bureaucrat to steal Bodi's land. She also says she's divorcing him.

The City vs. the Country

The City vs. the Country: The main theme is the culture clash between the simple, decent nomads from the country, and their battle with the evil businessman and his goons. And it's not just Hujee the crook. The cops are indifferent. His brother and (unseen) sister from the city are only too quick to abandon him when the confrontation with Hujee turns ugly. Bodi and Boldoo complain repeatedly about how the culture of Ulaanbaatar is alien and the people there have lost touch with Mongolian tradtional values.
