THE SALES GIRL Худалдагч охин (Janchivdorj Sengedorj, Mongolia, 2021)

A delightful, confident, accomplished film about a girl who finds confidence and beauty through subbing as clerk at a sex shop and meeting regularly with its fascinating lady owner. The young star won the acting prize at the Osaka premiere; the older one is memorable too. In an obscure country in an obscure language, such an accomplished and witty director.
