The Russians are not usually known for their sense of humor, but Urga proves that there is always an exception to the rule. A man living in a yurt with his wife and three children wishes to continue a sex life with his wife, but she does not want any more kids.

A Russian truck driver, Sergei is driving through a field and ends up with the front wheels stuck at the edge of a lake. He finds the yurt and he and Gombo become friends despite a communication problem. They travel to a city to buy condoms, but Gombo gets side tracked and brings home a TV set and other goodies instead. He has a dream in which Genghis Khan is married to his wife and the conquerer kills him and Sergei and destroys the television, all while riding a horse.

Gombo's wife is furious at him and walks out of the yurt, and he follows her to a field. The ending is pretty funny.
