Synopsis
Tharlo is an orphan. Now grown up, he makes a living as a sheep herder
in the village. He has grown a ponytail, so people simply call him
“Ponytail”, since nobody remembers his real name anyway. Tharlo has a
remarkable memory. He remembers so many things, except his own name. He
is now in his forties, and he has yet to have his first woman. Now
Tharlo goes to town to take a photo for his identity card. He meets a
girl in the barber’s shop who changes the course of his life. He embarks
on the journey to find his true self. He sells all his sheep and those
entrusted by other villagers to him for care, and decides to use the
money to go out into the world with the girl, only to find himself being
deceived and cheated by her. Ironically, in his journey of
self-discovery, Tharlo has lost his sense of self. As he witnesses in
the mirror his ponytail being cut off and leaving him bald, he can no
longer see himself as a man with a history that he recognizes.
