The Village 2022

Directed by Serik Aprimov

A young filmmaker gets an assignment to shoot a film and finds himself in an unfamiliar environment - an aul (kazakh village). A young man from the city is immersed in a completely different world. The life of the small village is full of intrigues, conflicts and dramas, to which the protagonist becomes a participant. Step by step he begins to understand and accept everything that is happening. The film ends with a celebration - the circumcision of a small child. This ancient Kazakh ritual brings people together again. Grievances and arguments are forgotten. The joy of being returns to people's souls. The film is a statement that if money is evil, and it is ineradicable, then kindness lives in any person soul , and it is also ineradicable.
