Boat 2019

Directed by Bagdad Mustafin

The legendary Turkic hero Korkyt-ata continues his search for immortality, but the outcome of his wanderings in all parts of the world is always the same — a fresh grave and a snake appear on the way, embodying the approach of death. The Aral Sea. On the dried-up bottom, among old ships and dead sands, a large boat has been resting for years. Adults and children wander around her deck. Unexpectedly, she resumes swimming. Water is time itself. Passengers embark on a journey through shifted eras and revived tradition, trying to figure out who they are and where they are going.
