My Bad Father

The film depicts the life of Jagaa, nicknamed "Estrad", who was born and raised in the 12th district called "Mikro" near the banks of the Selbe River, whose parents were intellectuals and graduated from universities in the USSR (now Russia), and who has been called "one of the lost or in-between generations." He was unable to withstand the storms of the market society of the 1990s and became unemployed and broke due to excessive consumption of brown wine. However, he pulls himself together for the sake of his only daughter and starts his life anew.

Directed by Ganbat Tserensodnom, My Bad Father leans on a strong ensemble — Lkhagvasuren Samdan, Dolgor Namkhai, Uyanga Enkhtur — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2010.
